CUISANCE HAS A GO
The young Frenchman brings the ball forward with a few step-overs to open space for a shot. He curls his effort wide, but nice to see his confidence on the ball despite just coming on here.
85'
TOURE FORCES A SAVE
No chance that Frankfurt are giving up here as Toure cuts onto his left foot at the edge of the Bayern box before shooting at goal. Neuer is able to save well at his near post.

WHAT AN EFFORT FROM KOSTIC
The wing-back brings the ball up the pitch from his own half and has options around him. He goes alone, pushing the ball onto his left before smashing a shot across goal and beyond Neuer, but it bounces back out off the post to his frustration. What a stunning goal that would have been.
80'
INTO THE FINAL 10
Already seven goals scored this evening, will we see more?
76'
HISTORY-MAKERS
Davies' goal was Bayern's 79th in the league this season - with Hinteregger's own-goal adding the 80th - and with that, Bayern have broken a Bundesliga record. No team in history has ever scored 80 goals after 27 matches in a Bundesliga season. Until now.

HINTI HELPS BAYERN
A hat-trick for Hinteregger, but not the one he'd have wanted. Gnabry is played in behind and his shot is saved by Trapp, but the ball bounces at and hits the Austrian centre-back before bouncing over the line before he can clear it. That may just seal Bayern's win.

20 MINUTES TO GO...
This game has had almost everything so far, and we've still got time for more. Do Frankfurt have it in them to come back, or will Bayern seal the win?
68'
NEUER DENIES GACINOVIC
The Serbian midfielder has a huge chance from in front of goal after a tidy backheel from Silva. He shoots from all of six yards out, but Manuel Neuer makes an outstanding save to keep the score as it is.
64'
GNABRY ON
More firepower in attack for Bayern as Serge Gnabry comes on for Ivan Perisic, who is limping slightly as he leaves the field.

DAVIES TO THE RESCUE!
A curious way for Bayern to score a fourth. Davies goes to play the ball across to Perisic, but Fernandes is in the way and the ball falls back to the Canadian. He takes it on and pushes the ball past a defender before slotting it back across Trapp using his weaker right foot. Superb stuff!
58'
GAME ON!
In the space of three second half minutes, this game is back on. Two set pieces bring the goals for Frankfurt and both coming from Hinteregger. He's scored three of his eight goals this season against Bayern Munich and all of his goals have come from corners.
55'
HINTI HAS TWO!
Unbelievable here in Munich! Hinteregger rises highest at the near post to glance a corner across Neuer and into the far bottom corner off the post. A fantastic header for his 8th goal of the season. He is now Frankfurt's top scorer this season - from centre-back!
54'
HERE COME FRANKFURT...
The away side have suddenly found second-wind and are pressing Bayern for a second goal.
52'
BACK IN IT!
The top-scoring defender in the Bundesliga this season does it again. A corner swings into the Bayern box and it's not dealt with, looping into the air and dropping for Hinteregger to volley at goal from right in front of Neuer. Well-taken goal to bring this game back to life...
49'
PERISIC TAKES A SHOT
A simple one for Trapp with Perisic shooting from distance on his left foot. Already Bayern's eighth shot on target this evening.

Substitution

LEWANDOWSKI MAKES IT THREE
Müller loops the ball over the Frankfurt defence for Coman on the right and he duly hits a cross into the box with pace behind it. Lewandowski is in front of goal to meet it and powers a header through Trapp to score his 27th goal of the season.
Kick-off!

MÜLLER MAKES IT TWO FOR BAYERN
A fantastic cross from Davies curls into the box behind the Frankfurt defence. Müller controls and flicks the ball beyond Trapp to make it a two-goal lead.

LEWY HEADS WIDE
Bayern's No.9 immediately back involved as he heads a corner from Kimmich towards goal, but it bounces just wide.
37'
A CUT FOR LEWY
The Bayern star has a scar under his eye after a stray hand from Hinteregger caught his face. He's been treated and now has a few plasters to cover up so that he can continue here.
34'
MORE TO BE ASKED OF FRANKFURT
The away side are doing well on the counter to find space down the wings, but have been unable to keep possession from that position of winning the ball back. Adi Hütter will be asking for more from his side.
31'
BAYERN PRESS WORKING WONDERS
Frankfurt are struggling to hold onto the ball for long periods here, mainly due to the level of pressing done by Bayern. The home side are hounding their visitors any time they lose possession.
23'
THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE MÜLLER
Thomas Müller claimed his 17th assist of the season for Goretkza's goal. That's the most in the Bundesliga and across all of Europe's top five leagues so far this season. It's almost the most any player has had at this stage of a Bundesliga season since Kevin de Bruyne when he broke the assist record with 21 in 2014/15.
20'
FRANKFURT PUSHING
The Eagles are trying to get their wings flapping here in Munich. Gacinovic's cross to the back post almost finds Silva, but it's a little over-hit.
17'
GORETZKA BREAKS THE DEADLOCK
It was coming, and now Bayern take the lead. The Bundesliga's assist-king does it again as Müller is played down the left. He looks up and plays the ball in towards Lewandowski. It's slightly behind him, but falls perfectly to Leon Goretzka who smashes home his fourth of the season - all of which have come in 2020.
15'
PAVARD SO CLOSE!
The chances are flying in for Bayern as Kimmich dinks a cross into the box from the byline on the right, and Pavard is perfectly-positioned but his header from close-range goes straight at Trapp. The Frankfurt shot-stopper punches clear. He's been busy already.
14'
LUCK NOT ALWAYS WITH BAYERN
Lewandowski's shot off the crossbar was the 17th time that Bayern have hit the woodwork this season - the most of any side in the league this campaign.
13'
NOW PERISIC!
Another big chance for Bayern as Kimmich lobs a ball over the Frankfurt defence and Perisic meets it with a volley on the slide, but his contact is not how he'd have wanted it and the ball falls into the hands of Trapp.
12'
LEWY HITS THE BAR!
A corner comes in towards the near post and is touched on by Müller. Lewandowski meets it perfectly and smashes a shot at goal with his left foot, which cannons back out off the crossbar.
11'
DAVIES ON THE RUN
The Canadian star has made a fantastic start to this game down the left flank, causing plenty of problems for Danny da Costa.
7'
ILSANKER SITTING
The usual defensive midfielder is sitting in the centre of defence today, with Hinteregger and Toure either side of him as part of a three-man defence in possession which turns to five when Bayern have the ball.
6'
BAYERN STARTING WELL
The home side enjoying the early possession and Kingsley Coman has shown his incredible pace on the right wing already. The pitch is perfect at the Allianz Arena, like a carpet.

WE'RE UNDERWAY
The ball is rolling at the Allianz Arena for this Saturday evening clash...
Kick-off!
FIRST GAME BACK AT THE ALLIANZ
After facing Union Berlin away from home last week, this is the first time we will see a Bundesliga game at the Allianz Arena since the Bundesliga's return.
WILL HISTORY REPEAT?
Eintracht are one of only four teams to have beaten Bayern this season, with their 5-1 win earlier in the season being Bayern's biggest defeat by far. However, the Eagles have the worst away record in the league, taking just seven points from a possible 36, and have lost their last 10 trips to Munich in a row.
BAYERN BOSSING 2020
Bayern are the only unbeaten Bundesliga team in 2020, collecting 34 from a possible 36 points. It's been a historic period under Hansi Flick so far and the defending champions are averaging a club-record 3.1 goals per game under Flick (50 in 16 Bundesliga matches).
LEWY ON YELLOW WATCH
Sitting on four yellow cards for the season, Robert Lewandowski is one booking away from a one-match suspension which, if it comes today, would see him miss out on Der Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.
BAYERN TEAM NEWS
Two changes for Bayern as Kingsley Coman and Ivan Perisic come in to start. Thiago drops out of the squad completely with muscular problems, while Serge Gnabry took a knock in training earlier in the week. The defence stays the same with Benjamin Pavard and Alphonso Davies come up against Kostic and da Costa.
FRANKFURT TEAM NEWS
A more defensive set-up for Adi Hütter's side and we will have to wait and see if Frankfurt set up with a three or four-man defence. Gelson Fernandes comes in and captains the side, while Mijat Gacinovic will support Andre Silva in attack. Filip Kostic and Danny da Costa will be the workhorses down each wing - which could be a big difference-maker in this game.
