Bayern München Vs. Bayer Leverkusen: Both Sides Need Three Points

There is no bigger match this weekend in the Bundesliga than Bayern and Leverkusen. This match means so much to both sides today. If Bayern win today’s match, they will jump Hannover 96 back into third place and a Champions League position for next season. A win by Leverkusen will put all of the pressure in the world on Borussia Dortmund to win against Freiburg today.

Bayern will be without Arjen Robben and Holger Badstuber for today's match. Ribéry and Schweinsteiger were questionable heading in to today due to injuries they picked up in training this week, but both are in the starting lineup.

Jupp Heynckes brings his Bayer Leverkusen side to the Allianz looking for a victory. Heynckes has already been named the Bayern manager for next season. Such an odd position for a manger to be in, no?

Bayern München: Butt; Gustavo, van Buyten, Pranjic, Lahm; Müller, Tymoshchuk, Schweinsteiger, Ribéry; Klose, Gomez

Bayer Leverkusen: Adler; Reinartz, Schwaab, Castro, Balitsch; Rolfes, Augusto, Vidal, Sam; Derdiyok, Ballack
