Watch: Kane: "The important thing is to stay focused"

The England striker insists that, despite his hattrick in his side's win, it's important that the squad maintains focus on their goals for this season.

0:27

Watch: Kompany: "Kane is always hungry"

The Bayern coach was full of praise for his striker after his hattrick against Stuttgart.

Full-time: Bayern Munich 4-0 Stuttgart

The Kane show comes to an end with three goals for the England captain and another for Coman. Stuttgart cancelled out the hosts in the first half, but Bayern's second 45 was one of their best of the season, and they could have easily had more goals.

Full-time

90'

Too easy for Bayern!

Müller's allowed to wander into the Stuttgart box and even though his final pass is blocked, Coman still picks up the ball and smashes it in for a 4-0 lead.

Double save from Nübel!

60'

Stuttgart on the edge

Playing high up the pitch Olise nearly makes his way through the Stuttgart defence and then Guerreiro is millimetres from playing Gnabry clean through.

Who else but Harry!

After missing from point-blank range, Kane makes up for it in spectacular fashion from range. Dropping deep outside the box he's clearly only got one thing on his mind and tucks the ball in the corner past Nübel from range.

A big xG impact

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).

Bayern's expected goals number increases dramatically with Kane missing an open goal in the six-yard box.

Kane should've scored!

Olise finds Gnabry all alone in the box and he squares the ball to Kane for a tap-in. The striker connects with the ball, but not enough, and misses turning it into the empty net.

50'

Bayern look more dangerous

Bayern are getting more men forward in their attacks this half and the guests look more rushed. Olise is the latest to cause problems in the box but Chabot cuts out his final ball.

48'

Changes soon?

There were no changes at the break, but Maximilian Mittelstädt appears to be getting ready for an appearance soon.

47'

Müller can't believe his eyes

Bayern nearly create a golden opportunity from the kick off but Müller doesn't get to the lose ball on the edge of the box in time. He collides with Chabot who lets out an almighty scream to win a free-kick. Müller gives him a sarcastic thumbs up.

46'

Back underway

Olise kicks us back off at the Allianz and Neuer instantly shows off by dinking his way past Demirović.

Kick-off!

Half-time: Bayern Munich 0-0 Stuttgart

Sebastian Hoeneß set up to stifle Bayern, and Stuttgart have done exactly that. The home side have only had half-chances, and Vincent Kompany may need a re-think at the break.

Half-time

44'

Stuttgart aren't uncomfortable

Despite Bayern having the ball and some chances, Stuttgart seem happy to sit and wait for their chance.

42'

Too many options this time

Bayern again craft a move where Stuttgart are outnumber in defence, but with Kane, Gnabry or Olise to pick out, Davies fails to find any of them.

40'

Davies the danger man

Davies has been causing Stuttgart plenty of problems with some clever passing.

Müller's not happy

Müller makes gentle contact on Hendriks who lets out an almighty scream. The Bayern veteran is not at all impressed.

35'

Nübel sweeps up

It's another clever ball forward from Bayern, this time Davies almost finds Olise for a golden chance, but Nübel runs out and gets to the ball first.

Stuttgart all over Kane

Kane's found again in a great position but he instantly has three defenders on him, disrupting his final shot which is off target.

32'

You expected that to go in

Guerreiro has time to find Kane as Bayern break forward but the no.9 puts the ball well off target. Leaving it for Davies behind him might have been the better option.

30'

Lovely from Olise

Olise tricks his way into the Stuttgart box and then surprises everyone with a pass to Gnabry - even the German wasn't expecting it, allowing Nübel to claim the ball.

Kimmich red-faced

It's Kimmich's turn to take the next corner from the left, but he kicks the corner flag and passes the ball straight to Stuttgart.

28'

That could've gone anywhere

Olise plays the follow-up corner short and it ends up with Davies whose wicked shot from range is deflected just over the bar.

27'

Dangerous from Olise

It's a great corner that Ermedin Demirović dangerously clears back across his own box.

First corner

Kane plays Gnabry down the left with a great pass, and his dangerous final ball to Olise is put behind by Jeff Chabot.

25'

It's getting stodgy

Stuttgart are focusing all their energy on shutting down Bayern, leading to a stale period with the ball in the middle of the pitch.

22'

Stuttgart's first shot

Rieder has the away side's first shot as he comes in off the right wing onto his left foot, but he aims it straight at Neuer for an easy save.

The flying fullback gets himself into another great crossing position but can't find a target.

Bayern stringing things together

Bayern are finding different routes through Stuttgart's midfield with some nice passing.

Passes

Chance for Kane

Kane's played through and opts to try and find Gnabry but the final ball is overhit. He may well have been offside anyway.

First save!

Thomas Müller flicks the ball in to Raphaël Guerreiro in the box with a delightful touch and the Portuguese has a great chance, but his shot is straight at Alexander Nübel.

Palhinha comes on

As expected, Pavlović is clearly in too much pain to continue. The summer signing from Fulham comes on.

Substitution

João Palhinha

Aleksandar Pavlović

This doesn't look great

Pavlović is clearly in pain as his shoulder is iced and João Palhinha is getting ready to come on.

Ouch!

Aleksandar Pavlović hits the deck hard on his shoulder after a bump from Fabian Rieder and he's going to need some treatment.

Stuttgart's first shot

Stuttgart come back up the other end of the pitch and Undav and Angelo Stiller exchange a one-two, but the former's outside-of-the-boot shot is too ambitious and goes wide.

Bayern should be ahead!

Stuttgart's defence is all over the place as Bayern attack but Alphonso Davies's ball is behind Michael Olise who was ready to run through one-vs-one. Bayern do get a shot away through Serge Gnabry, but it's just wide.

We're underway!

Deniz Undav gets us started at the Allianz Arena.

Kick-off!

Today's danger man?

Jamie Leweling scored on his Germany debut last time out and has the speed to cause Bayern problems this evening.

Upamecano straight back to action

Bayern's key defender missed both of France's Nations League matches during the international break but he's straight back in the line up today.

The pressure is on

Dortmund, Leverkusen, Freiburg and Leipzig have all won so far on Matchday 7, meaning both teams need to follow suit here if they are to avoid losing ground at the top of the table. That is especially true for Stuttgart, who are currently in eighth place on nine points - eight points behind leaders Leipzig.

Watch: Bayern inspect the Allianz Arena pitch

Bayern unchanged

Vincent Kompany has kept faith with the same 11 players that drew 3-3 with Eintracht Frankfurt before the international break. Jamal Musiala would likely have come into the team had he been fit, but a hip complaint is keeping him out of action so Thomas Müller begins once again.

Four changes for VfB

Stuttgart head coach Sebastian Hoeneß has sprung a couple of surprises with his line-up, chiefly by leaving in-form Enzo Millot and Maxi Mittelstädt on the bench. Perhaps he is wary of his side being too attack-minded against the Bundesliga's most prolific scorers. Chase and Touré also start among the substitutes, with Demirović, Rieder, Hendriks and Vagnoman all coming in.

Anticipation rising

Stuttgart's Maximilian Mittelstädt (l.) and Bayern's Leon Goretzka (r.) greet each other. Both start on the bench today.

Watch: The best of Harry Kane and Deniz Undav this season

Ahead of Saturday's meeting, enjoy the best goals of the teams' respective star strikers, Harry Kane and Deniz Undav.

Musiala missing

Bayern schemer Jamal Musiala is out of the Bavarians' weekend fixture having failed to shake off a hip injury in time to take part in Saturday's headline fixture. The 21-year-old previously missed his team's 3-3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt on Matchday 6.

Vincent Kompany on facing Stuttgart

"Stuttgart have shown what they're capable of. When you look at their games, they always want to play their way. They always apply a lot of pressure and want to play their way through. They're a good team. They've done very good work in recent years. Their players have grown. It's good for us that we get to play against teams like them."

Sebastian Hoeneß on facing Bayern

"They're back to their old strength, playing with high intensity and running a lot, even though they have the most possession in the league. Bayern have an outstanding squad but we want to try to take our chances and make it a more open game than last year there."

Watch: Stuttgart 3-1 Bayern - previous meetings

Stuttgart scored two late goals to beat Bayern in early May, in a massive result in the context of last season's race to finish second. They went on to head off the dethroned champions, whilst ending a run of nine games without a win against their southern neighbours.

Have Bayern hit a stumbling block?

Although unbeaten in the league, Bayern have drawn their last two Bundesliga fixtures and lost away in the Champions League to Aston Villa. Ahead of their game against last season's runners-up, they seem to have hit a sticky patch, but will see it as the perfect opportunity to secure a confidence-boosting three points.

Finding their feet

After a disappointing opening Matchday loss to Freiburg, Stuttgart are since unbeaten with three draws and two wins. They caught the eye with their 5-1 win over Dortmund but have drawn their two previous games and now go to the Allianz Arena looking for their third win of the season.
