Not only are Bayern Munich way out in front of the rest of the Bundesliga, but their average squad value was the fifth highest in all of the Big Five Leagues, only trailing behind Chelsea, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Manchester City (all of whom are much closer to Bayern than Dortmund are).

After going three games without a win before the international break, head coach Vincent Kompany will be hoping his Bayern Munich side can bounce back on Saturday as they host VfB Stuttgart. The hosts remain top of the table despite their indifferent form but face an injury blow coming into this fixture with playmaker Jamal Musiala still unavailable thanks to a hip issue.

Bayern Munich’s match day seven clash against VfB Stuttgart was a tale of two halves. What started out to be an extremely stale game, devoid of chances soon turned into a Harry Kane masterclass. The 23-year-old continues his rich vein of form after netting on his debut for the German national team in their last UEFA Nations League game against the Netherlands.
