Harry Kane for Thomas Müller

According to reports, the England captain is set to be back for the game against Leipzig. It will have been 20 days since the Borussia Dortmund game, where he got injured - whilst feeling like much more than that.

Whilst Bayern were fine in front of goal against Heidenheim and Shakhtar Donetsk in his absence, they visibly struggled against Bayer Leverkusen (mitigating circumstances) and Mainz without him – particularly in front of goal. The performance against the former was fine, but he may well have scored one of the two chances that went begging.

In this fixture last season, we saw Kane score twice, including a last minute winner. If Bayern are to go into the break on a high, they will need their number nine to be firing like he usually does, in what will undoubtedly be a close game.
