Full-time: Bayern 2-1 Leipzig

A Harry Kane double earns Bayern a much-needed win at the Allianz Arena! Leipzig were reactive when they went behind, but had no time to respond to the Englishman's second, meaning they leave empty-handed and the Bavarians snap their three-game losing streak.

What a finish to the game, and what a finish from Kane! He turns on a sixpence and volleys in past Blaswich from Choupo-Moting's pass - Bayern lead again!

All square

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Could there be a winner in this finely poised match?

And there it is!

It was in the air and, though he has a big deflection off Goretzka to thank, Šeško has brought Leipzig level. His shot was heading for the bottom left-hand corner before it struck Goretzka's toe and left Neuer wrong-footed as it flew into the opposite corner.

Haaland < Kane

Kane's 26th Bundesliga goal has come in his 23rd game, which is quicker than Erling Haaland managed to score his first 26 Bundesliga goals (28 games), earning the Englishman another record.

Neuer to the rescue!

A huge chance for Šeško to level! He's clean through on goal, but Neuer does what Neuer does best and makes himself big to deny the Leipzig forward.

Under Southgate's eyes

There is Bayern's response, and the opening goal! Under the watching eyes of England manager Gareth Southgate, Kane converts his third chance of the game, firing into the far corner from Musiala's assist.

Xavi straight at Neuer

All good things come in threes, and there's a third shot from Leipzig. Xavi's shot is too close to Neuer, though.

54'

Simakan close

From the resulting corner, Simakan gets in a low shot which curls just wide of the far post. Two good chances early in this second half for Leipzig - can Bayern respond the way they did to an early Leipzig effort in the first half?

53'

Hardara

The first Leipzig shot to sting the palms of Manuel Neuer, and it probably did sting, with the power Haidara put behind that effort.

Leipzig running a tight ship

Bayern still trying to find a way through.

Kick-off!

Half-time: Bayern 0-0 Leipzig

Bayern with their foot on the ball for much of this first half, but only two efforts from Harry Kane really to show for all of their possession. The Bavarians have been on top, but they've lacked a cutting edge. Can they find it in the second half?

Overhead Kane!

Another effort from Kane - his and Bayern's second of the game on target - this time an overhead effort with his back to goal, but it's easy for Blaswich.

Ball watching

Leipzig are taking on average 27.3 seconds to regain possession of the ball, which is far above their season average of 14.3 seconds. Bayern are not giving them even a sniff of the ball here, though the hosts have only that one shot from Kane to show for it so far.

RIP Andreas Brehme

Before kick-off, both teams paid their respects to the late Andreas Brehme, who passed away in midweek.

Rare possession for Xavi

It has been nearly all Bayern since the first few minutes, during which Xavi (l.) saw more of the ball than he has since.

Woodworkers

That header from Kane was the 15th time this season Bayern have hit the woodwork.

Hungry hosts

There is a notable spring in the step of the Bayern players, who after that early Leipzig opportunity, have been dictating the play.

Kane!

What a chance for Bayern, with a move started and finished by the Englishman. He plays the ball out to the left before racing into the area and calling for the cross, which comes right onto his head. Kane's header is pushed onto the post by Blaswich, who is glad to see the ball fall back into his arms.

Nervy start

A chance after just 20 seconds for Dani Olmo, with a nervous clearance going straight to him. His shot is blocked, but it was a good opening for the guests.

Kick-off!

Watch party in New York

Fans have gathered at the Football Café in New York to watch the game. Back in Munich, the teams emerge with the lights switched off in the Allianz Arena, except where the players line-up. After they shake hands, the full floodlights are on, setting the stage perfectly for this Saturday evening showdown.

Age and experience

Bayern's starting XI is both older and more experienced than Leipzig's, with an average age of 28.6 compared to 25.9 and a total of 1990 games compared to 930. Will all that added wisdom add up to three points for the Bavarians?

First for Kimmich

Kimmich makes his first start under Tuchel as a right full-back, with Dier in the centre of a totally new-look back four for Bayern.

More on those teams

Joshua Kimmich returns for Bayern, albeit at right-back. Eric Dier and Matthijs de Ligt are the centre-back pairing, with Dayot Upamecano suspended and Kim Min-jae benched. Leroy Sané is also back in the side in place of Eric Choupo-Moting. As for Leipzig, goalkeeper Janis Blaswich and defender Mohamed Simaken come in for the injured Peter Gulácsi and Lukas Klostermann, respectively. Midfielder Amadou Haidara shakes off a knee problem to start, and Benjamin Šeško returns to partner Löis Openda in attack. Yussuf Poulsen drops to the bench.

Watch: Remembering Andreas Brehme

Clubs up and down the country are paying tribute to the legendary Andreas Brehme this weekend. Germany's 1990 World Cup match-winner Andreas Brehme died earlier this week at the age of 63 and, here, bundesliga.com honours one of the greats of world football.

Watch: Jamal Musiala and Xavi compared

Are you Team Musi or Team Xavi? Either way, expect both to be heavily involved today.

Milestone in Munich

Today's match is the 1,000th Bundesliga home game in their illustrious history. It's a good day to turn yourself into an answer to a future quiz question.

Tuchel's view on Leipzig

"It's a really difficult match. The recent results against Leipzig speak for themselves. Leipzig have a lot of things that can hurt us. It must be clear to all that we have to go to our absolute physical and mental limit. Because of injuries, we're missing a bit of speed and also a recognised right-back. We'll find solutions and go on the attack."

Rose's view on Bayern

"Of course we know things aren't going smoothly for Bayern at the moment and they're having a hard time. But that's part of football. They're still an excellent team with excellent individual players and a top coach. They have won nine of their last eleven home games."

3:29

Watch: Xavi, Olmo & Openda - Leipzig artists

Xavi's been one of the standout players this season, Olmo scored a hat-trick in the Supercup win over Bayern and Openda was on target in the reverse fixture. Together, they're one of the most exciting attacking triumverates around.

Battle of the star strikers

This game will pit two of the Bundesliga's most prolific marksmen against each other. Harry Kane leads the goalscoring charts with 25 goals, while Loïs Openda has 16 himself.

Bayern team news

Tuchel, meanwhile, has far more selection dilemmas. Sacha Boey, Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry, Noussair Mazraoui, Bouna Sarr and Konrad Laimer are all unavailable for selection due to injury, while Dayot Upamecano is suspended after his red card versus Bochum. Meanwhile, Bayern will also be sweating on Alphonso Davies and Aleksandar Pavlović's fitness, with both currently doubtful for the clash.

Leipzig team news

Marco Rose has little to worry about in the way of team selection, with only Lukas Klostermann definitely unavailable - Amadou Haidara, who is still recovering from a knee issue, is a doubt.

Watch: Bayern vs Leipzig - Best goals

There have been some cracking strikes in games between these two teams - here's a selection for you to enjoy.

Head-to-head

Leipzig have fared rather well against Bayern in recent meetings, avoiding defeat in each of the last four games. That run includes a 3-0 DFL Supercup victory at the start of this term and a 3-1 win on Matchday 33 of the 2022/23 campaign that almost derailed Die Roten's title charge. The Munich outfit's last win over Die Roten Bullen came in the 2022 Supercup, which ended 5-3.

Tuchel to leave Bayern at the end of the season

Bayern confirmed on Wednesday that head coach Thomas Tuchel will leave his job at the end of the campaign. In a statement, FC Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said: "In a good, open discussion, we came to the decision to end our working relationship by mutual agreement in the summer. Our goal is to pursue a new footballing direction with a new head coach for the 2024/25 season."
