Lewandowski gets his 36th Bundesliga goal of the season following Hack's misplaced backwards header, but it's too little, too late for Bayern. Mainz celebrate a famous win - they move five points clear of the relegation play-off spot; Bayern are made to wait for the title. The holders still need three points from three games to seal the deal, unless Leipzig slip up against Stuttgart on Sunday.

It looks like Nianzou has dropped into the centre of the Bayern defence, with Alaba moving into midfield. Musiala has gone out wide right, with EMCM on the opposite side.

Flick makes three changes at the break, with Musiala, Choupo-Moting and Nianzou on. Coman, Sane and Goretzka make way. Öztunali's on for Mainz, replacing the excellent Burkardt, who took a heavy knock to the head in the first half, suffering a bloody nose as a result

Quaison goes to ground under Goretzka's challenge in midfield. The Mainz players want to see another booking, but it's Alaba who's eventually cautioned for his reaction. Bayern are rattled.

Burkardt's back on the field for Mainz. Always a relief after a blow to the head.

"The squad have showed their quality and character in recent weeks. We want to seal the title on Saturday, but we know Mainz are in great form. They're unbeaten in six games. Lewy has been out for four weeks, but he's shown in training that he's in good shape. We will obviously support him, however our main focus is the title."

"Bayern are a top team and we have to try everything on the field. Of course you don't have a guaranteed result against these opponents, but you still have to perform well! Our approach to the game isn’t to prevent Bayern winning the league. But of course we still want to make the most of our chances!"

Mainz have their own mastermind at the helm in Bo Svennson. The 05ers have picked up 25 points from a possible 45 under the Dane, compared to six from 14 before his arrival. They're unbeaten in six - winning their last two against lowly Cologne and Werder Bremen - and begin the weekend with a two-point cushion on the relegation play-off spot in 13th place. They arguably have the most difficult run-in of all teams around them, though, with Eintracht Frankfurt (a), Borussia Dortmund (h) and Wolfsburg (a) following their game in hand against second-bottom Hertha Berlin.

With a 10-point lead over second-placed RB Leipzig, and only four games to go, Bayern will be crowned Bundesliga champions for the ninth successive season with a win today. It'd give Hansi Flick his seventh trophy as coach - as many pieces of silverware as defeats in over 80 games in charge.

Bo Svensson makes a handful of chances to the side that won 1-0 at Bremen in midweek. Alexander Hack starts in defence at the expense of Stefan Bell, Danny da Costa replaces Daniel Brosinski on the right-hand side, Danny Latza is preferred to Dominik Kohr in midfield, while Jean-Paul Boetius and Adam Szalai make way for Robin Quaison and Jonathan Burkardt in attack. 'Pace' is the word.

Robert Lewandowski goes straight into the Bayern starting line-up after missing five matches with a knee ligament injury. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting makes way for the Pole, who has four matches to find the six strikes he needs to break Gerd Müller's 40-goal single-season record of 1971/72. Leon Goretzka also returns to the starting line-up, with Lucas Hernandez dropping out to allow David Alaba to revert to centre-back. Leroy Sane is rotated back in at the expense of teenager Jamal Musiala.
