Bayern Munich will host Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena on Saturday afternoon in the sixth gameweek of the German Bundesliga.
The Bavarians return to domestic action this weekend after beating Inter Milan 2-0 on Wednesday in their UEFA Champions League opener. They were held to a 1-1 draw against Union Berlin in their last league outing and will look to return to winning ways here.
Bayern sit third in the league table with 11 points from five games. They will return to the top of the standings with a win this weekend and will look to do just that. Stuttgart, meanwhile, have struggled in the Bundesliga this season. They held on for a 1-1 draw against Schalke in their last game, with Chris Fuhrich's early opener getting cancelled out minutes later.
The Reds are 12th in the standings, with just four points from five games. They will now look to pick up their first league win of the season on Saturday against the holders.
