Hello and welcome to Eurosport's live coverage of the Bundesliga clash between Bayern Munich and Union Berlin. I'm Ciaran Baynes and I'll be following this afternoon's match with you.

Union get us underway...

Bayern are as big a price at home as you would see in the Bundesliga, at just under even money, with Union being backed into 7/2.

Union have three changes from the side who drew at home to city rivals Hertha last weekend. Lenz, Buelter and Endo come in for Schlotterbeck, Gentner and Ryerson.

In all six changes for Bayern from midweek. It is all change in the back four with Stanisic, Boateng, Martinez and Sarr replacing Pavard, Sule, Alaba and Hernandez. Dantas comes in for Goretzka and Musiala starts instead of Sane, which after the latter's disapointing performance against PSG may be an audition for a place at the Parc de Princes.

Union are the Bundesliga's draw specialists with 12 to their name this year which has seen them lose touch with Dortmund and Leverkusen in the Europa League qualification spots. They really could do with a win today and maybe with Bayern sure to have their minds on Tuesday, this is their time.

Things got even worse for Bayern injury-wise during the thrilling 3-2 reverse to PSG on Wednesday with Goretzka and Sule adding to their unavailable list - headed by the great Lewandowski of course.

And this is the Union side who will take the field at the Allianz Arena.

This is how Bayern line up as they look to put the Champion's League disappointment in midweek behind them.
