Bayern Munich will be looking extend their lead at the top of the Bundesliga standings when they host a struggling Schalke at the Allianz Arena on Saturday. The Bavarians' lead at the top is just one point over second-placed Borussia Dortmund, with three games left to play.
Schalke, meanwhile, will be looking to take points off the defending champions as they hope to escape relegation. They have endured a difficult campaign, and they find themselves in the 15th spot, only five points above Hertha Berlin, who are rock bottom.
The match is expected to be a one-sided affair, with Bayern Munich the clear favourites to win. However, Schalke will be hoping to cause an upset and give their fans something to cheer about before the season comes to a close.

Team news & squads
Bayern Munich team news
Dayot Upamecano and Josep Stanisic has returned to training after injury layoffs. However, fellow France international Benjamin Pavard has performed well alongside Matthijs de Ligt in central defence, and could retain his place.
Leon Goretzka missed last weekend's win over Werder Bremen due to suspension but is expected to replace Ryan Gravenberch in midfield.
Former Schalke forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting also returned to training after struggling with injury problems in recent weeks, but is unlikely to displace Sadio Mane as Thomas Tuchel's men look to extend their unbeaten home record this season. Their last league defeat at home came back in January 2022.
Lucas Hernandez and Manuel Neuer are the long-term absentees at the club and the duo will only be seen in action next season.
Bayern predicted XI: Sommer; Mazraoui, Pavard, De Ligt, Cancelo; Goretzka, Kimmich; Coman, Musiala, Mane; Gnabry

| Goalkeepers: | Sommer, Ulreich, Schenk |
| Defenders: | De Ligt, Blind, Cancelo, Stanisic, Sarr, Janitzek, Marusic, Mazraoui, Pavard |
