Preview: Bayern Munich vs. Eintracht Frankfurt

Bayern vs. Eintracht Frankfurt

Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich take on Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday afternoon looking to maintain - or improve upon - their 13-point lead at the top of the table.

The Bavarian side have won their last 10 straight league games, which stretches back to the start of October, and are yet to drop a point at the Allianz Arena.

After a sluggish start to the season, Frankfurt have hit something of a patch of form recently and have taken seven points from the last nine available to begin a climb up the table.

Bastian Schweinsteiger is pushing for a return to the Bayern lineup, while both Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery could sit out once more. Pep Guardiola could recall Javi Martinez to shore up his midfield.

For the visitors the main concern remains Bastian Oczipka, with the left-back likely to continue on the sidelines with Constant Djakpa deputising.
