HUGE WIN FOR GLADBACH!
The home side looked to be down and out after half an hour and Bayern 2-0 up. But they fought back through Hofmann's brace before Neuhaus' stunner early in the second period put them ahead. The Bundesliga leaders piled on the pressure afterwards, but could find no way through a resilient Gladbach backline.

LATE PRESSURE
Gladbach are struggling to even string two passes together now, such is Bayern's pressure. They can't get out of their own half, but are defending valiantly and have plugged the gaps so far.

WOLF FOR STINDL
The Gladbach captain, who set up both of Hofmann's goals, is taken off. He's been looking a tad tired in the last couple of minutes after a brilliant display. Wolf replaces him in attacking midfield.

CHANCE FOR MÜLLER
Sane delivers a deep cross from the right to the back post, looking for Müller. He gets his head to the ball but can't direct it past Sommer, who is left with a simple catch.

BAYERN TURNING THE SCREW
Bayern are really squeezing Gladbach back into their own half now, playing one-touch passes and trying to get down the wings. Coman wriggles past Lainer on the Bayern left, but skews his attempted cross out of play. They're swinging momentum back their way, though.

Coman replaces Costa on the wing for Bayern as the visitors bid to turn this one around. Ginter is back on the pitch now too.

63'
OVER FROM KIMMICH
Lewandowski crosses from the left, Sane cushions it down to Kimmich on the edge of the Gladbach area. He shoots first time, but his side-footed effort goes well over.

OVER FROM STINDL!
Lainer with a lovely ball into Stindl's path as he arrives on the edge of the box. He takes it first time, aware that Kimmich is breathing down his neck, but his effort whizzes over the bar.
56'
HOFMANN INVOLVED AGAIN
Stindl plays a diagonal ball over to the left to Hofmann. He drives inside Sane and back-heels it into the space behind him, where Bensebaini is arriving. He tries to get past Müller, but the Bayern attacker does very well to force him off the ball.
54'
HOSTS ON THE UP
Gladbach are trying to capitalise on their momentum now and are looking for a fourth. Hofmann is focusing his efforts down the left, where he's had plenty of joy against Pavard and Süle so far today.
49'
GLADBACH TAKE THE LEAD!
Stunning stuff from Gladbach, who complete the turnaround. Süle gave the ball away to Hofmann on the Bayern right. Hofmann drives forward, cuts inside and lays it off to Neuhaus on the edge of the area. He takes a touch and curls a stunning shot into the top corner past Neuer!

Well, well, well! Bayern went 2-0 up and looked to be cruising, but Gladbach have clawed their way back into it with Hofmann's well-taken brace. What a second half we're in store for!

GLADBACH ARE LEVEL!
Stindl with another superb through-ball to dissect the Bayern defence. Hofmann goes one-on-one with Neuer and beats him again, but the assistant referee's flag goes up for offside. VAR has a check and the goal is given, with Süle keeping Hofmann onside in the build-up.

GLADBACH GROWING
The goal has given the Foals an added injection of confidence and they're increasingly trying to get behind Bayern's backline now. Hofmann is proving a handful with his runs from deep, with Stindl pulling the strings centrally.
38'
SANE FROM DISTANCE
A Bayern corner comes to Sane, about 30 yards from goal. He pings a low shot at goal that bounces just in front of Sommer, but the Gladbach keeper does well to palm it clear.
36'
GLADBACH BACK IN IT!
Pavard gives the ball away on the Bayern right and it's quickly worked to Stindl, in a central position. He plays a brilliant low ball into the path of Hofmann, who is unmarked as he sprints into the box, before slotting low past Neuer! Game on!
33'
OVER FROM BENSEBAINI
Hofmann floats a free-kick into the Bayern box. It comes to Bensebaini at the back post and although the ball bounces high, the left-back still gets a shot away. It goes well over, though.

WHAT A HIT FROM GORETZKA!
Goretkza wins the ball in midfield, plays a one-two with Sane before driving to the edge of the box and hammering a brilliant shot into the net. Sommer had no chance.
25'
LEWY HEADS OVER
Lewandowski is the only Bayern player in the box, with four or five Gladbach defenders in there too, but Müller still picks him out with a brilliant cross from the right. Lewandowski gets a head on it but it sails over the bar.
22'
ZAKARIA ALMOST IN
Lainer whips a brilliant cross from the right into the Bayern box. Neuer doesn't know whether to stay on his line or come out for it, and Zakaria almost gets a toe on it to poke in. Bayern breathe a sigh of relief.

LEWANDOWSKI OPENS THE SCORING
Lewandowski sends Sommer the wrong way, the goalkeeper diving to his left and the Bayern striker putting it in the other corner. That's now 20 goals this season for Lewandowski.

NICE FROM GORETZKA
The Germany international spies Sane sprinting into the box and pings a diagonal ball over towards him. Bensabaini challenges him from behind and just does enough to put Sane off - the ball goes out for a goal kick.

GLADBACH LURKING
Alaba gives the ball away cheaply in his own half and Zakaria is on it immediately. He has Embolo and Stindl as options to pass to, but ends up getting caught in two minds and not passing to either one of them, allowing Bayern to clear.

FIRST CHANCE FOR GLADBACH
A lovely, sweeping counter from Gladbach as Bensebaini tears away down the left. He gets to the edge of the box and lays it off to Hofmann on the edge of the box. He gets a shot away, but it's no trouble for Neuer.

Both teams are still trying to find their feet here, but Bayern put together a nice first move as Lewandowski plays it wide to Pavard on the right. His cross into the middle is a good one, but Kramer is first to it and can head clear.

WATCH: INSIDE BAYERN'S DRESSING ROOM
THE START OF THE FLICK ERA
Since that Gladbach win, Bayern have lost just once more in all competitions under Flick who was taking charge of just his sixth game when BMG got the better of his side. It sparked a remarkable turnaround in the record champions' fortunes and they've never looked back, going on to complete a record-breaking treble last term, pick up both domestic and European Super Cups at the start of this campaign and establish a two point lead at the top after 14 games.
LAST TIME THEY MET
The last time these two met in Gladbach, it was the home side that ran out 2-1 winners with Ramy Bensebaini hitting a brace after Ivan Perisic's opener. Bensebaini's goals included a dramatic 92nd-minute winner from the penalty spot in a memorable win that, at the time, kept Gladbach top and a whole seven points clear of Bayern in seventh-place.

WATCH: BAYERN'S ARRIVAL
TEAM NEWS - GLADBACH
Breel Embolo leads the line for the hosts again here. Marcus Thuram remains suspended and Alassane Plea isn't in the squad at all. He was absent with a knee injury on Matchday 13, and only made a substitute appearance against Bielefeld last week. At left-back Ramy Bensebaini starts for the first time since Matchday 7, with Oscar Wendt dropping to the bench.
TEAM NEWS - BAYERN
It's largely as expected from Bayern coach Hansi Flick, who has kept faith with out-of-form right-back Benjamin Pavard, with the 2018 World Cup winner starting once more. Serge Gnabry picked up an injury against Mainz last week so is out of action here, while Kingsley Coman is on the bench as he continues his recovery from a minor injury too. Leroy Sane and Douglas Costa start on the wings, with Joshua Kimmich in central midfield.
