Under new manager Vincent Kompany, Bayern have won every one of their competitive matches in both the Champions League and Bundesliga. The Bavarians are in high spirit ahead of this match, after recording a 2-1 victory over fierce rivals, Borussia Dortmund. 

Star striker, Harry Kane, has been unstoppable in front of goal as the English captain has scored at least one goal in seven consecutive games so far. He has also scored twice in each of the first two opening matches of the Champions League this season.
