The Billy Goats were top of the table for around 24 hours after winning on Friday night, and their impressive Matchday 4 victoryover FC Schalke 04 sees them second only to FC Bayern München. Peter Stöger’s side have conceded just once in the league this term, and are unbeaten in nine games stretching back into 2015/16.

Leipzig have looked perfectly at home in the top flight in the early stages of their first time in the Bundesliga. Only a late equaliser from USMNT star Fabian Johnson that resulted in a 1-1 draw with Borussia Mönchengladbach on Wednesday has marginally dented the top-flight newcomers’ progress to date.
