Bayern Munich look to keep their unbeaten Bundesliga streak alive as they welcome Union Berlin to the Allianz Arena on Saturday.
Leading the Bundesliga standings with 20 points from eight matches, the Bavarians enter the game in strong form, having secured a 5-0 victory over VfL Bochum on October 27. Union Berlin, sitting in fourth with 15 points after eight games, recently fought out a 1-1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in league play last weekend.
The visitors, however, stumbled midweek with a 2-0 loss to Arminia Bielefeld in the DFB-Pokal's second round, where the Iron Ones managed only a single clear chance. Their recent form has been shaky, and they'll be aiming to improve after splitting points with Frankfurt in their last Bundesliga fixture.

Bayern Munich team news
Summer recruit Hiroki Ito is on the verge of making his comeback following a broken foot, while Sacha Boey will be sidelined for several months due to a knee injury. Aleksandar Pavlovic has also sustained a broken collarbone, ruling him out for a few weeks. Josip Stanisic will be unavailable until late November because of a knee ligament injury.
With Boey out until mid-November, expect Raphael Guerreiro, Dayot Upamecano, Kim Min-jae, and Alphonso Davies to form the defensive lineup.
In midfield, Joshua Kimmich could be paired with Joao Palhinha in a double pivot, while Serge Gnabry and Michael Olise are likely to provide support on the wings for striker Harry Kane.
