Full-time: Union 1-2 Leverkusen

The champions extend their unbeaten run away from home to 23 games with a clinical display in Berlin. Frimpong put them ahead inside just two minutes before Jeong brought Union level, but a brilliant cross from substitute Wirtz teed up Schick to earn Leverkusen all three points and move up to third in the table for the time being.

Deja-Wirtz

The only other time Wirtz has come off the bench this Bundesliga season he set up the Leverkusen winner in a 2-1 victory over Frankfurt. Has he just done the same again here?

Goal confirmed

It's checked by VAR with the ball close to Schick's arm, but it's quickly given and he marks his 100th Bundesliga game for Leverkusen with his 48th goal.

Schick!

Brilliant cross from Wirtz wide on the right and it's on a plate for Schick getting behind his marker at the far post to chest it over the line and restore Leverkusen's advantage.

As it stands

A draw is set to take Leverkusen up to third, still two points shy of Frankfurt, who play tomorrow, and eight behind Bayern ahead of Der Klassiker. Union would remain 10th.

Half-time: Union 1-1 Leverkusen

The champions made a blistering start with Frimpong’s goal inside two minutes, but it’s been tight since then. It took a little magic from Hollerbach to tee up Jeong for the equaliser and end Union’s five-plus-hour scoring drought.

Goals but not many chances

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).

We've seen just five efforts this afternoon but still had two goals. Based on the quality of chances, 1-1 looks fair.

Leaky on the road

The champions have failed to keep a clean sheet in their six away games this campaign but have scored in each of their last 23 on the road, which is a club record.

Into side netting

Schick on his favoured left foot to the left of goal, but he can only fire it into the side netting.

The drought ends

The last Union player to score in the league had been Hollerbach against Frankfurt back on Matchday 8 at the end of October. It's Jeong's first since Matchday 4 and takes him to two for the season, level with Rothe and Hollerbach as the Berliners' top scorer.

Jeong levels!

That run of 322 minutes without a goal is finally over. It's an excellent run from Hollerbach up the inside left and through the Leverkusen defence. He then squares, where Jeong gets in front of his marker and guides it in off the inside of the right post to level things up.

Back four confirmed

So, it is indeed a four-man back line from the champions of Arthur, Tapsoba, Tah and Hincapié. It means Grimaldo and Frimpong are both more advanced, as we quickly saw with the goal.

Watch: The story of 'Grimpong'

Quick out the blocks

Little surprise to hear Frimpong's goal was Leverkusen's earliest of this season and also the quickest Union have been breached this term.

Pinball

A García free-kick from wide right into the box just won't sit for a black shirt, who have a few swings at it before the ball pops up for Rønnow.

Perfect start for Leverkusen!

So simple for the champions. Tah with a long ball over the top, Grimaldo away up the left, Frimpong racing along with him and being presented with a simple tap-in.

A Bayer back four?

Alonso has only started with a four-man defence twice before this season, but will he do so again today? Arthur's inclusion for his first league start of the campaign together with Jeremie Frimpong and Álex Grimaldo might mean it is. Or will it see a more advance Frimpong? We will see shortly...

Wirtz on the bench

Injuries for the champions mean they have only named eight of a possible nine substitutes, including two goalkeepers, but Alonso still has the luxury of being able to name Wirtz on the bench. It's just the second time the 21-year-old hasn't started a league game this term, although on that previous occasion he did come on to set up the winner against Frankfurt.

Three Leverkusen changes

Alonso makes three alternations from the side that comfortably beat Red Bull Salzburg in midweek, with Hrádecký restored in goal for Matej Kovář, while Arthur and Aleix Garcia start for Florian Wirtz and Exequiel Palacios.

Hosts rotate

It's five changes for Union from last week's loss at Wolfsburg - the most ever under Bo Svensson. Leopold Querfeld, Benedict Hollerbach, Wooyeong Jeong, Tom Rothe and Tim Skarke all come in, with Janik Haberer, Robert Skov, Yorbe Vertessen and Jordan all dropping to the bench. Diogo Leite is injured.

Xabi Alonso on Union

"It will be a very physical game with lots of duels. We have to be ready for that. But we want to put our ideas into effect on the pitch and play our own game – and in the best case scenario keep a clean sheet as we did against Salzburg."

Bo Svensson on Bayer Leverkusen

"It is a big challenge to host the champions. We know they have a lot of quality. We need an absolutely top performance. These are the kind of challenges you look forward to when you play in the Bundesliga though."

2:03

Watch: Union Berlin 0-1 Bayer Leverkusen - previous meeting

Florian Wirtz scored the winner in April. The victory put Leverkusen within one more win of their historic first Bundesliga title.

Leverkusen in lively scoring form

The champions followed up a 5-2 home win over Heidenheim with their highest-ever UEFA Champions League win on Tuesday evening - 5-0 at home to Salzburg. They will now seek to take that superb scoring form on the road to Berlin.

An iron defence

Only Bayern Munich (seven) have conceded fewer than Union Berlin's nine goals in the Bundesliga so far this season.

Home fortress holding

Union Berlin remain unbeaten at home this season - albeit they followed three wins in their first three ties in Berlin with two draws in their most recent home encounters.

2:03

Watch: Bayer Leverkusen 5-2 Heidenheim - highlights

Xabi Alonso's men returned to winning ways against Heidenheim, thanks in part to a superb hat-trick from Patrik Schick. The defending champions' fifth league win of the campaign, the result keeps them in fourth - some nine points behind leaders Bayern Munich.

2:03

Watch: Wolfsburg 1-0 Union Berlin - highlights

The Berliners were met with disappointment as they travelled to Wolfsburg, the side just below them in the table in 11th. It's now four Bundesliga games without a win for Bo Svensson's side.
