Bayern Munich vs Augsburg as it happened - Robert Lewandowski's late penalty spares champions' blushes

Augsburg get this local derby up and running!

Almost time for the action. Can Bayern Munich take another step towards the title or have Augsburg got a surprise up their sleeve?

Plenty of transfer speculation across Europe!

Bayern Munich XI: Neuer, Pavard, Nianzou, Upamecano, Richards, Kimmich, Goretzka, Gnabry, Muller, Sane, Lewandowski.. subs: Musiala, Coman, Sabitzer, Ulreich, Davies, Tillman, Stanisic, Wanner, Roca.

Augsburg XI: Gikiewicz, Gummy, Gouweleeuw, Oxford, Caligiuri, Dorsch, Maier, Iago, Hahn, Vargas, Nieferlechner.. subs: Zeqiri, Jensen, Finnbogason, Koubek, Gregoritsch, Framberger, Pepi, Gunther, Moravek.

Bayern suffered a shock loss to Villarreal in the first leg of the quarter-final of the Champions League. And, in truth, the Bavarians are fortunate it wasn't more than 1-0.

Bayern start the day six points ahead of second-placed Dortmund, who cruised to victory at Stuttgart last night. Should the Bavarians beat Augsburg they would move nine points clear with just seven games remaining.

Augsburg recorded victory over Mainz in midweek as they moved six ahead of the relegation zone. They're still far from safe, however.

"Of course we were all disappointed. We made a lot of mistakes on Wednesday.

"On Saturday, there is a Bundesliga game and points we want to get. We'll try a lot of things tomorrow that will also be important on Tuesday."

Florian Niederlechner starts up front for the visitors in the absence of Alfred Finnbogason with Andre Hahn, who scored in the reverse fixture, playing in support.

Despite being forced off with an eye injury in the defeat to Villarreal, Bayern midfielder Goretzka starts. But Alphonso Davies, having made his first appearance since December in midweek, is only amongst the substitutes. As expected, Robert Lewandowski leads the attack.

Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Bundesliga clash between Bayern Munich and Augsburg.

Having avoided punishment for fielding 12 players very briefly in the 4-1 win at SC Freiburg last week, Bayern are hoping to open up what would be a huge nine-point lead at the summit.

Standing in their way are Augsburg and after losing to Villarreal in their Champions League quarter-final first leg in midweek, Julian Nagelsmann's side will look to take all their frustrations out on their Bavarian rivals.
