GOING FOR MORE
Bayern continue to search for more. Kimmich and Zirkzee scramble for a shot on goal in a scramble in front of Kastenmeier, but neither are able to get a clean strike away.
78'
DEBUT FOR BATISTA MEIER
The 19-year-old half-Brazilian winger comes on for his first team debut, and Bundesliga debut, replacing Serge Gnabry.

CHANGE OF BOOTS FOR DAVIES
The Canadian has had to have a change of boots here in Munich. Probably from wearing the other ones down with his roadrunner speed...

DOUBLE CHANCE!
Big chance for Gnabry at first as he meets Goretzka's pass and races into the box but sees his shot saved by Kastenmeier. The rebound falls to Lewandowski who moves across the box to find space for a shot, but that effort is saved as well. Davies then takes a knock as Fortuna clear.
69'
20 TO GO!
Bayern heading for victory here and going 10 points clear atop the Bundesliga table, but they are not resting on what they have here against Fortuna, nor are Fortuna resting on hopes of getting a goal back at least.

MÜLLER SHOULD SCORE
The Bayern forward latches onto a through ball into the Fortuna box and has time to pick his spot as the ball drops down to him. But he lashes his shot high and wide from in front of goal, a rare sight to see.

FRESH LEGS
Hansi Flicks makes a couple of changes around the hour mark with Odriozola and Perisic coming on for Pavard and Coman.

ALMOST A GOAL BACK
Zimmermann's dinked cross from the right is met by HoFfmann at the back post, but he can't keep his header on target as he looked to push the ball back across goal beyond Neuer.
58'
OLDIE BUT GOLDIE
With his 29th goal of the season, Robert Lewandowski has also become the first player over the age of 30 to reach that mark. More to come as well, we're sure...
57'
BUNDESLIGA RECORD
With 85 goals Bayern have broken the record for most goals scored at this stage of a season. If they continue on their average set so far this season, they will reach 100 goals by the end of the season...

LEWY HEADS OVER
Close to a hat-trick for Lewandowski but his header from Davies' cross floats over the crossbar.
52'
DAVIES IN ON THE ACT
Fantastic from the Canadian as he wins the ball back from Stöger on the edge of the Fortuna box and dribbles his way through. Slick ball work takes him through three defenders before sliding the ball past Kastenmeier in style. A lovely, lovely goal.

SUPERB AGAIN FROM LEWY!
It's Lewandowski with a brace to make it four for Bayern. Coman clips the ball over to Gnabry in space on the right side of the box and he plays it to Lewandowski in front of goal. The Pole flicks the ball with a backheel through Kastenmeier's legs and into the back of the net. Goal No.29 for him this season...

PICKING UP WHERE THEY LEFT OFF
Bayern not showing mercy as they push on for more here. Coman's cross almost finds the head of Cuisance in front of goal, and minutes later Alaba stings the hands of Kastenmeier with a cross from the left which could have landed perfectly in front of goal for Lewandowski.

SECOND HALF UNDERWAY
A change at the break for Bayern with Hernandez off and Cuisance on, pushing Kimmich into the centre of defence with the Frenchman into midfield.

LEWANDOWSKI COMPLETES HIS SET!
Superb composure in front of goal from Bayern. Alaba's pass is flicked on beautifully by Lewandowski through to Kimmich and he powers into the box. A backheel gives the ball to Müller, who then flicks it to his left for Lewandowski's who can simply slot the ball home beyond Kastenmeier. That's his first goal against Fortuna Düsseldorf, meaning he has scored against every current team in the top-flight, and his 28th of the season.

WORKING HARD
Fortuna are close to making things work here. They've run two kilometres more than their hosts so far and have had chances, but just haven't been able to beat the last line of the Bayern defence. Things certainly haven't been easy for the home side, though.
38'
GNABRY GOES CLOSE
The winger cuts inside from the left flank and shoots hard at goal, but his effort drifts just over Kastenmeier's goal.
36'
ANOTHER BREAK
Fortuna doing really well to push forward on the counter-attack. This time Karaman's cross from the right is aimed for Thommy, but Hernandez does well to get in between and clear the ball away.
33'
BIG CHANCES
A couple of huge chances for Fortuna to get back into this game as Karaman and Morales both have shots blocked. Firstly, Karaman controls Thommy's cross and shoots from around the penalty spot, but Davies is perfectly placed to block in front of goal. Moments later and Morales' shot from the edge is deflected away.
29'
THAT ONE IS PAVARD'S!
The Frenchman is not denied his goal this time. Kimmich swings in a corner from the right and it lands perfectly for Pavard to head across goal, bouncing beyond Kastenmeier and into the far bottom corner.
28'
MÜLLER GOES CLOSE
Lewandowski has possession on the right wing and swings a cross into the box for Müller to attack. His shot at the near post is tipped behind by Kastenmeier.

GOOD OMEN
Bayern have won their last 13 Bundesliga games after taking the lead.

KARAMAN BOOKED
A high foot from Karaman as he went to get on the end of a cross into the box, but catches Hernandez in the face in the process.
20'
NOT FORCING THINGS
As you can see when checking the real-time average positions of both teams, despite Fortuna sitting deeper, Bayern aren't committing all bodies forward all of the time. It's been a measured approach from the home side, allowing space for their forward players to work with.
15'
ZANKA OWN GOAL PUTS BAYERN AHEAD
Bayern take the lead through an unlikely source in Benjamin Pavard. The ball is out with Kimmich on the left and he finds Müller, who crosses to the back post and Gnabry who meets it with a first-time cut-back into the box. Pavard flicks the ball at goal and it goes over the line thanks to a touch from Zanka, and it goes down as the defender's own-goal.
13'
PUSHING ON
The home side with a lot of possession, a lot of attacking intent, but no attempts on goal so far. The Fortuna defence has been solid in front of Bayern's pressure.
8'
BAYERN ON TOP
The home side in control of the ball here in the opening minutes and warming up nicely with some lovely passing interplay in the Fortuna half. Kimmich and Goretzka heavily involved in midfield.
4'
MORALES CURLS WIDE
A nice break from Fortuna as Karaman is sent away down the right. He reaches the Bayern box and turns back looking for support, and finds it with a pass to the edge of the box to Morales. He curls a shot goalwards, but it drifts wide of the mark.
2'
ALMOST AN OPENER
Bayern break forward with Gnabry finding Davies on the left and his cross is almost put into the net by Lewandowski. However, the flag is up on the far side with the Canadian full-back in an offside position when the ball was played.

CENTRE-BACK SET UP
It's David Alaba on the right and Lucas Hernandez on the left for Bayern Munich at centre-back. Two left-footed players on the ball at the back for Bayern.

MOMENTS AWAY
Players are out on the pitch and we're ready to roll in Munich...
ALABA BOSSING THE BACK
David Alaba has been outstanding at centre-back since moving into that position on Matchday 10 at Frankfurt. Since then Bayern have lost just three of 19 games, while Alaba has committed only six fouls and has not been shown a single yellow card.
PUSHING FOR MÜLLER'S RECORD?
Lewandowski has scored a league-leading 27 goals so far this season as he chases his fifth top scorer's cannon, and third in a row. He's 13 goals short of Gerd Müller's record 40 in a single season.
UP AGAINST IT TODAY
Besides last season's dramatic draw, history has not been on Fortuna's side when facing Bayern away from home. Thomas Allofs’ solitary strike gave Fortuna their last win on Munich soil in April 1991. They have suffered more defeats (29) and conceded more goals (117) against Bayern than against any other Bundesliga club. What’s more, Düsseldorf have failed to score in 22 of their 49 Bundesliga meetings with Bayern - another unwanted high.
REMEMBERING LAST SEASON
The six-goal thriller at the Allianz Arena between Bayern Munich and Fortuna Düsseldorf last season was one of the best games of the campaign. 3-1 down in the second half at Bayern, the away side were inspired by one man - Dodi Lukebakio - to come back and draw 3-3 with the Belgian forward scoring all three goals for Fortuna on the day. Time for another hero today...
A NEW CHALLENGE FOR LEWANDOWSKI
There aren't many things Robert Lewandowski has not done in the Bundesliga. The league's top scorer this season does, however, have a new challenge today: he has never scored against Fortuna Düsseldorf in the Bundesliga, and Fortuna are the only current Bundesliga team that he has failed to find the net against. Can he get his first today?
FORTUNA TEAM NEWS
Five changes for Uwe Rösler's side today after their 2-1 win over Schalke in midweek. Zanka, Gießelmann, Bodzek, Morales and Skrzybski all in to start this evening. Fortuna unbeaten in six Bundesliga games and bang in-form coming into this game. After Werder Bremen's win earlier to close the game between the two sides around the bottom of the table, Fortuna will want to pick up points.
BAYERN TEAM NEWS
Just one change for Bayern with Lucas Hernandez starting ahead of Jerome Boateng in the centre of defence. Bayern have won each of their last seven Bundesliga games and are looking to extend their lead atop the Bundesliga table today to 10 points before Dortmund play tomorrow.
