  Background:

• Guardiola did not attend the Bayern - Hertha Berlin pre-match presser for personal reasons.

• Boateng: “I wouldn't have expected to see them [Hertha] so far up the table, but they deserve it, It's going to be a good match, we're looking forward to it.â€

• Douglas Costa will be sidelined against Hertha Berlin due to a sprain. David Alaba might return to the squad as he completed the final workout after recovering from a knee injury.

• Dardai (Hertha coach): “We're coming with great respect. Nevertheless I come here in a good mood. We have 23 points and don't have to look for a hiding place. It would be a huge joke if I told you we're going to attack.â€

• After the 1-0 victory over Hoffenheim, Hertha Berlin has won two consecutive Bundesliga games for the first time this season.

• Bayern have won their last eight meetings against Hertha Berlin. They were made to work hard for these victories last term (1-0 on both occasions).

• Bayern are still the only club in Bundesliga history yet to concede in the second half after 13 games. Across multiple seasons, they are on a run of 14 matches without letting in a second-half goal. The record currently stands at 15 games (Bayern 2014/15).

• Thomas Müller scored his 12th goal of the campaign and is now one away from equalling his record haul for a season (13 goals, most recently in 2014/15).
