Bayern Munich will look to continue their hunt for Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen this Sunday when they host Werder Bremenat the Allianz Arena.
The Bavarians enter the weekend four points behind Leverkusen at the Bundesliga summit, although they could be seven points cut adrift by the time they face Werder Bremer depending on Die Werkself's result against Champions League hopefuls RB Leipzig from a day earlier.
Anyways, the onus is on Bayern to keep pace, and not fall adrift, something they have done very well recently by winning their last three league games on the spin. Thomas Tuchel's side will be expected to get the job done at home against 13th-placed Werder, who are yet to win a game away from home this season.
