Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Bundesliga clash between Bayern Munich and Cologne. After drawing 1-1 with Mochengladbach last week, Julian Nagelsmann will be targeting his first league victory as boss, as supporters return to the Allianz Arena. Stay with us for the pre-match hype before kick-off in just one hour's time.

Bayern's arch rivals Dortmund suffered defeat yesterday... It's very early in the season but already there appears to be issues with Marco Rose's side.

We're only into the second week of the domestic season but Bayern Munich have already gone and lifted some silverware...

Earlier this weekend, Nagelsmann was asked about reports suggesting that Lewandowski wants to leave the club. His response: "That doesn't bother me at all, if I'm being honest. That is part of the business. If I were not coach at Bayern but at another big club, I would always ask about that name and hope that something would work. It's because he scores a lot and is the most dangerous striker out there. This is completely normal."

Having scored twice in an impressive 3-1 victory over Hertha Berlin last week, Florian Kainz is the man to watch for the visitors. Anthony Modeste was also on the scoresheet as new boss Steffen Baumgart started his tenure with a victory. Cologne, however, have lost in their last seven games against Bayern and face an almighty task to get anything today.
