Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund preview: A top of the table clash awaits

Bayern Munich host Borussia Dortmund at the Allianz Arena for Matchday 8 of the Bundesliga in a highly anticipated top-of-the-table clash. Bayern enter the fixture following a 6-1 victory against 1.FC Magdeburg, with Harry Kane, Joshua Kimmich, and Aleksandar Pavlovic returning. However, Bayern will be without Jamal Musiala and Luis Días due to muscle tears, while Kim Min-jae remains a doubt and Manuel Neuer is expected to return.

Borussia Dortmund manager Niko Kovac enters the match seeking his first victory against Vincent Kompany's Bayern side since taking charge. Dortmund edge into the fixture after overcoming Werder Bremen in the DFB-Pokal, but face their own injury concerns with doubts surrounding Emre Can, Giannis Konstantelias, Justin Lerma, Kaua Prates, and Ramy Bensebaini.
