Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of 26-times German champions Bayern Munich against RB Leipzig. It is a huge match between the two clubs top of the table in Germany. Both teams have 36 points, but Bayern are ahead on goal difference after 15 matches.

First trouble of the night for Leipzig as Douglas Costa drives a cross into the area. Peter Gulacsi can't hold, but Marcel Halstenberg clears the danger just in time. Superb defending.

Robben floats a little chip to the back post, but just too much pace on the delivery as it floats out of play.

Bayern quick to regain possession in their own half. Alaba picks out Alonso as Leipzig drop back deep to occupy space.

Alonso with a corner for the home side, Thiago with the header. But it fails to trouble the visiting goal, and the Leipzig defence can wallop the ball up the park.

The last Bundesliga debutants to win their first ever top flight away match against Bayern München were Dynamo Dresden on 15 February 1992 (2-1).

Only Borussia Dortmund (70) have scored more Bundesliga goals in 2016 than Bayern München (69). And only newly promoted RB Leipzig (12 in 15 matches) have conceded fewer in the BL this calendar year than the Rekordmeister (18 in 31 matches

Forsberg throws the corner into the Bayern box. Neuer comes off his line, but is fouled going for the high ball. Foul to the home team.

Carlo Ancelotti looking on with some interest as Robben is caught offside. The visiting side looking for a goal, and they have an early corner.

Hummels again having to show his class to make sure the ball gets back to Neuer with Yussuf Poulsen threatening in the Bayern box. Leipzig starting on the front foot here.

Timo Werner with some burst of pace, but Yussuf Poulsen can't get on the end of the cross. Brilliant break by the visiting side. Could easily have been 1-0.

Alaba with a fairly strong surge forward, but the visiting side do well to clear the danger before Robben takes a tumble, but no foul. Leipzig can launch the goalkick long.

The visiting side get the match off and running. Leipzig in dark blue and Bayern in their red shirts on home soil in Bavaria.

A minute's silence at the Allianz Arena for the tragic victims of the attack on the Christmas market in Berlin.

Bayern know a draw or a win is enough for the champions to secure top spot until the league resumes on Jan 20 after the winter break.

But Leipzig have broken almost every record for Bundesliga newcomers, racing to 11 wins out of 15 matches and losing just once.

"We know Leipzig's character. They play together, they play fast. We have to play our game and be focused," said Ancelotti, whose team are chasing a record-extending fifth consecutive Bundesliga title.

Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich will be able to count on fit-again winger Arjen Robben this evening. The Dutchman, who missed last week's 1-0 win over Darmstadt 98, returned to training this week and was ruled fit along with captain Philipp Lahm who also missed Saturday's match.

"Arjen Robben has trained well this week with the team," Ancelotti told reporters. "So far he is fit and we will need all our players tomorrow. He has been playing very well this season and he is an extremely important player for us."
