FORSBERG FLUFFS HIS FREE-KICK
A big chance for the away side with a free-kick from the edge of the Frankfurt box. Forsberg has a host of options with three or four players waiting for a lay-off on the edge, but he goes for goal himself and curls it over the crossbar. It's just not been Leipzig's day in front of goal.
80'
LEIPZIG GOING FOR IT ALL
Emil Forsberg now on in place of Amadou Haidara and he joins Marcel Sabitzer as the only men in midfield in front of the defence. It's all or nothing for Leipzig, but they have not been able to rest Trapp in this second half so far.

WERNER FIRES OVER!
Big chance for Leipzig as the ball runs loose to Lookman at the back post after a cross from the other side. He cuts past one sliding defender but his shot is deflected and falls to Werner. The Leipzig forward is leaning back and fires the ball high over the crossbar from around the penalty spot.
71'
LOOKMAN JOINS THE PARTY
The Englishman is the latest attacking player on the pitch now for Leipzig who are going fully all-out attack. It's now Lookman, Schick, Poulsen, Nkunku, Werner in attack.

POULSEN AND WERNER UP TOP
It's Poulsen and Werner now leading the line, with Schick, Nkunku and Sabitzer all in support as Leipzig try to create space going forward to breakthrough Frankfurt's strong lines of defence.

KOSTIC HITS THE TARGET
A good break from Frankfurt once again as Gacinovic finds Kostic down the left. He runs into the box with the ball and stings the palms of Gulacsi with a shot across goal.
55'
LEIPZIG WAKING UP
It's not been the start to the second half that the away side will have expected with Frankfurt taking the lead and Leipzig being unable to control the pressure. Nagelsmann is furiously trying to push his team on from the sidelines and he'll know there's plenty of time for them to come back. Leipzig have scored in every game so far this season...
51'
BIG CHANCE FOR KOSTIC
A mistake from Mukiele sends Kostic away in on goal and he looks to fire across Gulacsi from the left flank, but Gulacsi is down well to make a good save with his body.
50'
A STORY OF TAKING CHANCES
Frankfurt have had two shots on goal so far this game, while Leipzig have had 12. It's 1-0 to Frankfurt early in the second half.
48'
WHAT A GOAL FROM TOURE!
An incredible start to this second half as a throw-in from the left flank is played into the box by the home side. Hinteregger flicks on and it's cleared to the edge of the box for Toure who perfectly catches a half-volley shot at goal which glides into the top corner with Peter Gulacsi at full-stretch. A stunning strike.
46'
SECOND HALF BEGINS
We're back underway in Frankfurt without a change to either side during half-time.
Kick-off!
Half-time
42'
HAIDARA SHOOTS FROM RANGE
The midfielder's effort bounces towards goal and forces Trapp to dive to his right, but it drifts wide of the mark with Leipzig's 12th attempt on goal of the first half.
39'
ALL HOPE THROUGH KOSTIC
Everything good for Frankfurt so far today has come through Filip Kostic. He's registered the fastest speed of any player and has won the most duels of any home player. His positioning has been slightly higher up the pitch as well, with N'Dicka playing as a true left-back.
33'
HALSTENBERG HAS A GO
Quality build-up play once again from Leipzig. Haidara nutmegs Rode and the play goes quickly from one side of the pitch to the other. Halstenberg collects the ball and has space in front of him, but his shot is dragged wide.
32'
LEIPZIG DOMINANT
There have been nine shots at goal so far today, all nine have come from RB Leipzig. Frankfurt have begun to come into the game a bit more but it's still Leipzig enjoying most of the ball and able to find wholes in the home side's midfield and defence.
26'
HOME SUPPORT OUTSTANDING
The players have not been able to find their rhythm so far in this game but the home fans certainly have. The support from the Frankfurt faithful is constant and impossible not to notice. They'll be hoping they can push their side on.
23'
WHAT A RUN FROM NKUNKU
The Frenchman shows his class as he collects possession on the left wing and turns past N'Dicka. He chases into the box, taking the ball past Chandler and Abraham before reaching the byline and cutting it back into the area but no Leipzig teammate is able to slot it home.
18'
CHANCES GALORE
Nkunku has a shot from the edge of the box which forces a save from Trapp. Adams almost puts home the rebound but Leipzig recycle possession and it's then Schick who goes for goal from range, forcing another save from Trapp in the Frankfurt goal. Werner is furious he wasn't played in, but he'll be pleased with how Leipzig have started here.
17'
EAGLES STRUGGLING TO GET FORWARD
It's been hard work for Frankfurt so far. They've had good points of possession, but none in the Leipzig half with the RB defenders snuffing out any attempts to keep the ball with Bas Dost. The home side have not yet registered a shot on goal.
13'
LEIPZIG BREAK...
Werner is played in behind the Frankfurt defence by Nkunku down the left. Adams is screaming for the ball on the edge but Werner looks for Schick in the middle and the Frankfurt defence are able to clear it away.
8'
BIG CHANCE FOR WERNER
Lovely build-up play from the away side as Adams finds Nkunku with a crossfield-pass. The Frenchman plays Werner into the box on the left and he opens his body to curl a shot at goal, but he doesn't get the pace or power behind it that he'd want and Trapp is able to make a comfortable save before gathering the loose ball.
7'
SCHICK HEADS OVER
First real chance of the game comes from a Leipzig corner as Schick meets Nkunku's in-swinging cross but can't keep his header on target. Leipzig in control of possession and pushing forward well in these early stages.
5'
LEIPZIG SHAPE ALWAYS CHANGING
As you'd expect, Julian Nagelsmann is providing us with a tactical show today with his fluid line-up ever-changing. Without the ball, Leipzig turn to a 4-4-2, while with it, they go into a 3-4-2-1 with the wing-backs pushing on to provide support going forward. Frankfurt will have their work cut out dealing with the constant change.

WE'RE UNDERWAY
The game is underway here at the Commerzbank-Arena.
Kick-off!
NEW CONTRACT FOR PACIENCIA!
Before the game, Eintracht have announced that striker Goncalo Paciencia has signed a new contract with the club until 2023. The Portugal international is on the bench today, but it the club's top scorer so far this season.
REVENGE FOR FRANKFURT?
The Eagles suffered defeat on the second game of the season back in August as Leipzig ran out 2-1 winners in the side's previous meeting. Now with Leipzig top of the league and flying the task will be even harder for Frankfurt to pull off some revenge today...
DANI OLMO, WELCOME TO RB LEIPZIG!
This morning, RB Leipzig confirmed the signing of Spanish international Dani Olmo from Dinamo Zagreb. The highly-regarded attacking midfield had interested parties across Europe calling his number, but Julian Nagelsmann, the Bundesliga and Leipzig attracted him the most. The 21-year-old won't be involved today, but will available from next week.
RAMPANT LEIPZIG ON THE HUNT AGAIN
RB Leipzig have scored at least three goals in each of their last four away games. No team has ever done so in five consecutive games. It would be just more history written by Julian Nagelsmann's ridiculously fluid attacking side.
EAGLES AS PLANNED
There are no shocks in the Frankfurt line-up with Adi Hütter planning a four-man defence to try and stop the formidable RB Leipzig attack. Andre Silva and Goncalo Paciencia are also on the bench as options should Frankfurt want to go for glory at some point today in Frankfurt.
KLOSTERMANN OUT FOR LEIPZIG
The Germany international is the only unexpected absentee for Leipzig today with a knee problem stoping him from being able to play. Tyler Adams drop to right-back in his sted, with Amadou Haidara coming into central midfield in place of the USMNT star.
