The early team news is in and both sides have struggled with injury in recent months. Bayern midfielder Leon Goretzka is likely to miss the match with a hip injury while Joshua Kimmich is out after testing positive for COVID-19.
As is oft the case, Bayern Munich are top of the Bundesliga with 31 points. Borussia Dortmund are snapping at their heels with 30. Having beaten Dortmund 3-1 in Germany's Super Cup in August, the 2020 European champions will be confident of defeating arch-rivals BVB on Saturday... but it won't be easy.
Both teams have had to grapple with a slew of positive COVID-19 test results in recent months – even Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann missed a few games – leaving the usual first XIs in chaos.
The good news, for German football fans, is that the 2021 Der Klassiker will feature two of the greatest strikers in the world. Bayern's Robert Lewandowski will attempt to keep his side in the top spot, while Erling Haaland, who recently returned from a month out injured, will been keen to fire Dortmund into the box seat.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. VPNs are a doddle to use and create a private connection between your device and the internet. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.
There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30 days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. ExpressVPN is the one we recommend.
2. Open up the VPN app and choose the location of the service you wish to access. For the football, you may wish to choose 'Australia' for Kayo Sports.
3. Then head over to Kayo on your browser or device and enjoy the Dortmund vs Bayern live stream.
If, for whatever reason, you can't get it working, then do remember that you have the comfort of a 30-day money back guarantee with ExpressVPN. You could also try NordVPN, which also comes with a 30-day money back guarantee, and Surfshark which offers 24 hour assistance.
