Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich are level on 16 points at the very top of the Bundesliga standings going into the derby of the Matchday No 8 on Sunday afternoon at the BayArena.

The hosts will actually come into the match in higher spirits following a demolishing 0-4 victzory at Arminia Bielefeld.

It was the third successive league win for Gerardo Seoane and his troops. Bayer Leverkusen have generally been scoring goals for fun lately and it will be very interesting to see whether they will be able to carry on here against the strongest team in the country.

Die Werkself bagged four unanswered goals in each of the last two victories over Celtic (in the UEFA Europa League) and Arminia Bielefeld (in the Bundesliga).

The visitors, who still boast the best attacking record in the league with 24 goals in 7 games, suffered their maiden defeat of the season in the previous round.

They fell 1-2 at home to Eintracht Frankfurt despite scoring the first goal of the game through Leon Goretzka.

Bayern Munich won each of the last four clashes against Bayer Leverkusen.
