TOP MARKS FOR MUSIALA
Musiala makes way. He's played another blinder in central midfield. Hard to believe he's still only 18. Tanguy Nianzou is on.

OOH-LA-MUSIALA!
The pressure tells for Bayern! Gnabry overcooks his cross, but Pavard is able to collect on the right-hand side of the box. He squares for Musiala, who takes his marker out of the game with a sensational first touch and arrows low past Zentner from 18 yards.
73'
BAYERN PROBING
Davies drives into the Bayern box, but he's crowded out. Mainz pretty much with every player bar Onisiwo in their own half.
66'
CH-CH-CH-CHANGES
Burkardt's worked hard for Mainz, but Onisiwo's been the dangerman. Ingvartsen, who scored against Bayern in his Union days, is on. Lee's also gone off for Boetius in midfield. As for Bayern, Sane, Tolisso and Hernandez, who was on a booking, make way. Süle, Roca and Gnabry are on.

COMAN!
Mainz can't handle Coman. He appears on the left this time, cutting inside of two men before curling just past the left-hand upright. Zentner was beaten.
55'
BAYERN BACK IN IT!
Bayern level in the blink of an eye. Tolisso sprays a stunning ball over the top of the Mainz defence for Coman. His first touch is right on the money, and he finishes confidently through the legs of Zentner.
50'
COMAN!
The Frenchman should score. He's completely unmarked in the six-yard box, but heads tamely at Zentner.
49'
LEWANDOWSKI!
A first chance for Lewandowski as he connects with Tolisso's inswinging free-kick, but that's straight at Zentner.
46'
HERE WE GO AGAIN!
More of the same will do nicely for Mainz. Can they become the first team to stop Bayern from scoring in the Bundesliga in 61 matches, stretching back to February 2020?

HALF-TIME! BAYERN 0-1 MAINZ
Mainz lead Bayern at the break, and you have to say, they deserve it!
Half-time

STACH!
Anton Stach takes aim from distance following a corner, but Neuer doesn't look too concerned and watches it wide.
44'
CHANCE!
Much better from Bayern. They move it quickly in and around the Mainz area. Zentner punches Müller's clipped ball straight to Coman, but Hack bails his keeper out with a crucial block.
40'
MAINZ IN CONTROL
Bayern are all over the place as Davies loses out on the left wing. Onisiwo gets a ball into the box, causing real panic in the Bayern defence. Barreiro takes on a shot from 18 yards, but is surrounded by red shirts and doesn't trouble Neuer. The half-time whistle can't come soon enough for the Bundesliga leaders.
32'
MÜLLER!
Davies gets in behind the Mainz defence, with his defleced cross cleared only as far as Müller. He's off balance and under pressure as he controls on the penalty spot, but that's not far away from the Bayern forward. A Mainz shirt directs his attempt just over, with Zentner at full stretch.

THE MAINZ PRESS
Mainz are really getting in the faces of the Bayern players. They're hustling and harrying, and forcing the mistakes. Bayern suddenly look very disjointed.
22'
MAINZ LEAD!
Bayern don't get close enough to Burkardt in the box. He digs out a cross for Onisiwo to head past Neuer from six yards.

PENALTY NOT GIVEN
Upamecano appears to catch Lee in the box. The referee is taking a look, but it's not given.

MAINZ BREAK
Mainz don't hang about as Müller concedes possession on halfway. Onisiwo leads the break, but rushes his effort and can only find the arms of Neuer from 18 yards.
10'
DAVIES AGAIN!
Mainz are on the ropes as Lewandowski jinks inside and feeds Müller in the box. He squares for Pavard, who stings the palms of Zentner. Davies miscues the follow-up, but gets a second bite of the cherry on his right foot. It's goal-bound, until Widmer intervenes with a crucial block to take the ball wide of the upright.
7'
DAVIES!
Brilliant play from Bayern to part the Bundesliga's meanest defence. Coman and Müller combine to play in Davies. He's in off the left and into the box, but doesn't quite know whether to use his head or foot. The Canadian uses the latter, and balloons over. He's scored two in four against Mainz to date, making them his favourite Bundesliga opponent.
6'
LEWY ON THE HUNT
Robert Lewandowski could set a new Bundesliga goals record today. He's already scored 40 times in 33 Bundesliga games in 2021. Only one player in Bundesliga history - the late Gerd Müller - has managed more in a single year, hitting 42 in 1972. The Pole tends to score against Mainz, too. He has 19 goals in 21 competitive meetings with the 05ers.

TON UP FOR NAGGY?
Julian Nagelsmann is bidding to land his 100th win as a Bundesliga coach, on his 199th appearance. "To be honest, I didn't know that at all, I thought I already had more," joked the unknowing 34-year-old prior to today's game. "It's a nice number, I'm pleased about that."
Kick-off!
TABLE TALK
Bayern opened up a four-point lead at the summit after beating second-placed Borussia Dortmund 3-2 in Der Klassiker. Their nearest rivals are also in action this afternoon, away to Bochum. Mainz start the day in seventh, but could climb to fifth with a win and the right combination of results elsewhere.
MORE ON THOSE TEAMS
With Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka still out, Corentin Tolisso and Jamal Musiala are the midfield double pivot for Bayern. It is, in fact, the same team that started the midweek win over Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League. Serge Gnabry is among the substitutes. Mainz are also unchanged from their 3-0 win against Wolfsburg on Bundesliga Matchday 14, with Jean-Paul Boetius on the bench once more.
