BAYERN MUNICH (4-3-3): Sven Ulreich; Joshua Kimmich, Niklas Sule, Mats Hummels, David Alaba; Thiago Alcantara, Javi Martinez; Leon Goretzka, Thomas Muller, Kingsley Coman; Robert Lewandowski.
The home side will be aiming to improve on their recent home form at Max-Morlock-Stadion having won on only one occasion in their last six home matches. Nurnberg are currently sat in 17th place and desperately need a win to keep their survival hopes alive. Bayern, meanwhile, have lost only once in their last 12 Bundesliga matches. A victory over Nurnberg will see the reigning champions move four points clear of Borussia Dortmund at the top of the table.

Hello and welcome to live match coverage of the Bundesliga fixture between Nurnberg and Bayern Munich at Max-Morlock-Stadion.
NURNBERG (4-3-3): Christian Mathenia; Robert Bauer, Lukas Muhl, Ewerton, Tim Leibold; Hanno Behrens, Patrick Erras, Eduard Lowen; Matheus Pereira, Sebastian Kerk, Mikael Ishak.
The teams are out and kick-off will soon be upon us here at Max-Morlock-Stadion.
Nurnberg will be pleased with their first-half display and will look to continue in much the same fashion after the restart. The hosts have defended resolutely and will look to Pereira if they are to hurt Bayern on the break in the second half. The league leaders, meanwhile, have created very little and will seek to involve Lewandowski more frequently after the break as they look to find a way through.
Bayern host Hannover next time out as they return to winning ways. Nurnberg, meanwhile, travel to Wolfsburg as they look to keep their survival hopes alive following an impressive point against the reigning champions.
That brings an end to our coverage of the Bundesliga fixture between Nurnberg and Bayern Munich at Max-Morlock-Stadion. Thank you very much for joining us. Goodbye!
