The league leaders are still unbeaten in 2017 thanks to a last-gasp Robert Lewandowski goal in the 1-1 draw at Hertha Berlin. Having also needed late efforts to secure victory at Ingolstadt on Matchday 20 and Freiburg on Matchday 17, Carlo Ancelotti will be hoping his men can extend their unbeaten home record with a little more ease on Saturday.

Hamburg have now gone four games unbeaten in league and cup following their 2-2 home draw with Freiburg, although it could have been four wins on the trot had Aaron Hunt scored from the spot late on. At the home of the defending champions, the visitors will be targeting what would be only their third away win of the campaign, but they have not been happy travellers to Munich in recent seasons.
