Bayern Munich

Robert Lewandowski, with 27 goals in 26 games, is hunting Gerd Müller’s all-time Bundesliga scoring record of 40 goals almost 50 years ago.

Jérôme Boateng has hobbled off in the last two matches with hip problems, but is expected to be fit.

Thiago continues to be troubled with adductor problems and will likely sit out again here.

Manuel Neuer will play in goal having extended his contract until 2023.

Philippe Coutinho and Corentin Tolisso have both had ankle operations and are ruled out. The Brazilian is the likeliest to return before the season is done and dusted.

Teenage striker Jann-Fiete Arp has recovered from an arm injury but will play for the reserves in the 3rd division, while Niklas Süle is back in light training again after suffering an ACL tear and remains hopeful of playing again this season.

Fortuna Duesseldorf

Kaan Ayhan is available after suspension. Andre Hoffmann or Mathias Jørgensen could lose their spot.

Former Leeds boss Uwe Rösler replaced Friedhelm Funkel as coach with a view to securing top-flight football for another season.

Record signing Dawid Kownacki is nearing a return from a knee injury.

USMNT goalkeeper Zack Steffen, on loan from Manchester City, is still missing because of knee pain. Florian Kastenmeier stands by again, with ex-Bayern keeper Michael Rensing an option as well.

Kenan Karaman could start up front alongside top scorer Rouwen Hennings.

Prediction

• With their eighth Bundesliga title virtually in the bag, expect a comfortable Bayern win.
• Struggling Duesseldorf will need more than their share of Fortuna to gain anything in this one in the Bavarian capital.
