Cologne - The eyes of the world will be on North Rhine-Westphalia and specifically the Rheinenergiestadion on Sunday evening when 1. FC Köln host Borussia Mönchengladbach in one of the Bundesliga's most traditional derbies (kick-off: 17.30 CEST/15.30 GMT).

In its first installment for over two years, the match-up of two of German football's powerhouses looks set to be a rip-roaring affair, if the sides' successful starts to the season are anything to go by.
