Bayern Munich extended their lead at the top of the Bundesliga to 12 points with a draw against Borussia Monchengladbach this evening.
The home side conceded just the seventh goal of the season, when Monchengladbach took the lead through a penalty in the first half.
Xherdan Shaqiri scored his first goal in the Bundesliga to get Bayern back on level terms.
Read how all the action unfolded below:
Let's start by taking a look at the starting lineups...
Neuer, Dante, Boateng, Lahm, Ribery, Martinez, Alaba, Schweinsteiger, Kroos, Mandzukic, Muller
Ter Stegen, Brouwers, Nordtveit, Wendt, Stranzl, Cigerci, Herrmann, Marx, Arango, Jantschke, Hanke
Bayern Munich have looked mighty so far this season. They have conceded just six goals in 16 games, and have lost only once.
Monchengladbach are in reasonable form themselves. After a mixed start to the season, die Fohlen have only one loss in their last nine Bundesliga matches, and a win tonight would see them pushing for a Champions League place.
One player who will be keen to impress in the Bayern lineup is Brazilian defender Dante. He moved from Monchengladbach to the Munich side earlier this year for a €5m transfer fee (around £4.6m).
Thomas Muller and Mario Mandzukic will also be key for the home side tonight. The duo have each found the back of the net nine times this season.
According to the latest weather reports, it's -3°C at the Allianz Arena tonight!
The visitors will be looking to Juan Arango for goals this evening. The Venezuelan has eight goals this season, and netted a sensational lob from the sideline just inside the Mainz half last weekend.
The players are starting to head out towards the pitch, as we're just a couple of minutes from kickoff.
Bayern Munich get the game underway.
