Follow live coverage as RB Leipzig take on Union Berlin in the Bundesliga today.
Bayern Munich remain the team to beat in the German top flight with the juggernaut of Julian Nagelsmann, 30 times winner of the competition.
Boasting some of the best players in the world such as Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller and Manuel Neuer, they are still favorites to retain their league crown.
Rivals Borussia Dortmund traditionally push them closest and have won the title five times, most recently in 2012 under Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
Borussia Mönchengladbach were a force in the 1970s, winning the league five times, but have not had a champion team since, while Werder Bremen, Hamburg and Stuttgart are also multiple winners.
RB Leipzig are the latest addition to the group and backed by energy drink maker Red Bull, they are now threatening to challenge for their own title.
