MAXIMUM RETURNS FOR BAYERN
The referee calls this one right on 90 minutes and, in the end, it's a comprehensive win for the visitors, who are nine points ahead of Dortmund at the top of the standings. A solid showing from the hosts will give them hope going into the final games of the season. Bielefeld are second from bottom with four to play.

Top performances from Lewandowski and Gnabry today and both are rewarded with an early rest as Nagelsmann makes a double switch.

GAME OVER
It's a third for Bayern and a visual treat too. A counter attack sees Kimmich spray the ball left for Lewandowski who stands in possession, waiting for Musiala to make the run. The attacker goes and meets the Polish forward's pass to lift high into the net from close range.

DAVIES HAS A GO
Davies has a cheeky, right-footed pop at the target and for a second it looks like it might hit the top corner. Not so, as the ball fizzes away to safety.

BELLO FACE BLAST
George Bello takes Goretzka's powerful shot full in the face and the USMNT man understandably goes down for a breather. He'll be ok, it seems.

ORTEGA STOPS MUSIALA
Musiala let's fly from close range but Ortega spreads himself eagle-like and blocks that one out. Top save.

BIELEFELD CHANGES
Double swap for the hosts. Gonzalo Castro has had a penchant for scoring the odd late goal or two coming on as a sub this season. Can the veteran make an impact here?

GNABRY GOES CLOSE
Gnabry cuts in from the right, leaving his marker on the floor, and drills a shot not too far wide of the far post.

ARMINIA TIRING?
Weariness setting in, perhaps. Wimmer, who has run his socks off today, wastes a corner on the right with a weak kick that goes straight to Bayern.
66'
KIMMICH BOOKING
Kimmich trips Pieper and goes into the ref's notebook. Just prior to that, Okugawa was in front of goal and looked certain to score, until he was put off his shot by the looming Pavard.
64'
NEUER DENIES PRIETL
Pieper has a hit at goal. It's low down but not wide enough of Neuer to seriously trouble the Bayern shot stopper who quickly releases his team on the counter.

At the other end, Davies runs at the Bielefeld defence and is upended by Vasiliadis. The subsequent free kick in an interesting position comes to nothing.

BIELEFELD PENALTY SHOUT
Wimmer goes on an arcing run that takes him into the area and out to the right, where Upamecano meets the attacker with a solid shoulder. Wimmer goes flying and the crowd shout penalty. The ref points for a goal-kick.

WIMMER VERSUS DAVIES
Wimmer runs into the area, followed closely by Davies. The Canadian wins out but the flag had been up for a Wimmer offside.

GNABRY LOVES TO TRAVEL
As Bayern knock it about, let's remind ourselves that first-half goalscorer, Serge Gnabry, has now scored wight of his last nine Bundesliga goals away from home, including the last six.

ARMINIA CORNER
Arminia win a corner straight out of the blocks, which Wimmer takes, and which comes to nothing. Good energy among the home fans as they look to push their side back into this one.

BAYERN LEAD AT HALF TIME
Bayern are in command at the break and at this moment, are once again nine points in front at the top of the table. Arminia have been worth at least a goal, here, however, so the defending champions will be taking nothing for granted as they head in for their team talk.

So unlucky for Okugawa who is millimetres offside at the start of a move that saw the Japanese follow a long ball over the top and then clip it over the head of Upamecano before firing past the advancing Neuer.

BAYERN RECORD EXTENDED
It's worth remembering that Bayern have now scored for a 77th Bundesliga game in a row, increasing an incredible record. The league leaders last failed to score in the top flight 26 months ago in a 0-0 draw against Leipzig.

The Bielefeld attacker races down the right flank and looks to cut inside, he's chased all the way by Upamecano, however, and the defender forces Wimmer to stumble which leads to the move breaking down.

Bayern have won their last three Bundesliga games while their most recent top-flight victory came against Augsburg. The Bavarians' lead at the top of the table stands at six points going into today's encounter.
FORM GUDE: BIELEFELD
