No let-up at Bayern
At FC Bayern's pre-match press conference ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash with AS Roma, left-back
insisted there is no room for complacency at the club, despite their impressive run of form:
Having finally notched their first win of the season on Matchday 10, Freiburg’s players seemed understandably relieved in the wake of the Köln victory. "It took a load off my mind," admitted skipper Stefan Riether, insisting he and his team-mates had always kept their nerves also during their nine-game winless drought. “We never got nervous, just kept working hard. We changed our tactics slightly which obviously worked out well.”
Papadopoulos injury blow

Leverkusen eyeing Zenit challenge

Birthday boys
A very "Happy birthday" to two Bundesliga greats, all-time top goalscorer Gerd Müller, the ex-FC Bayern striker and 1974 World Champion who turns 69 today, and former Gladbach, 1. FC Nürnberg and Hertha Berlin coach Hans Meyer:
Patrick Herrmann was a very happy man indeed after contributing a brace to yet-unbeaten Borussia Mönchengladbach’s 3-1 home win against 1899 Hoffenheim last night. “It’s been a while since I last scored two, it’s a great feeling. Things are going really well for us at the moment." The victory leaves his Foals in third, just four points behind league leaders Bayern München.

The confirmed line-ups for Gladbach vs. Hoffenheim (kick-off: 15:30 CET/14:30 GMT):
Back on the horse
Borussia Dortmund were back on the training pitch earlier today, honing their game plan ahead of Tuesday's home tie with Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League. Victory in that one would secure their place in the last-16 with two games to spare, remember.
Arjen Robben, Manuel Neuer, Marco Reus perhaps? You'd be hard pushed to find a player in better current form that Wolfsburg's Kevin De Bruyne, who scored his first of the season against Stuttgart on Saturday and set up two more to help the Wolves ease to a 4-0 win. De Bruyne is now the leading assist-maker in the division with seven, while VfL have now crept up to second after five straight wins. Here's the post-match reaction to that crushing win at VfB.
Hummels injury blow
There was further bad news for Borussia Dortmund a day after their 2-1 defeat to Bayern, as it was confirmed the five-time champions will have to do without skipper Mats Hummels for three weeks due to a ligament injury in his right foot picked up in the
Klassiker
on Saturday.
Gladbach to host Hoffenheim
It's third against fourth today at the Borussia-Park, where a win could see both Borussia Mönchengladbach and 1899 Hoffenheim move up to second on a special day for Foals boss Lucien Favre:

Response from Mainz

Unbeatable at the Allianz?
Is this the most interesting pre-Klassiker statistic of them all?

BVB up against it
Or are they?

The Royal Blues are currently seventh in the table and are second in their UEFA Champions League group.
