FC Bayern is challenged on matchday 13 at Hertha BSC.

Manuel Neuer returns.

What about Thomas Muller?

The voices of the game.

Munich – Matchday 13 is coming up and FC Bayern is still not the leader of the table.

With a win over Hertha BSC, the record champions would put the other Berlin club, namely Union, under pressure – and at least hold the place in the sun for 24 hours.

In the live ticker for Bayern's game at Hertha, you won't miss any highlights.

In the game with the old lady, Manuel Neuer returns to the Bayern goal.

The captain was out for almost four weeks with a shoulder injury.

It will be interesting to see what he has to say after the game.

As always, Julian Nagelsmann will comment before the match.

Perhaps Hasan Salihamidzic will also say something about a possible extension of Eric Maxi Choupo-Moting's contract?

The new Bayern superstar currently hits as he wants.

The Cameroonian has scored eight times in the past nine games.

Should anyone say that Bayern don't have a centre-forward.

We summarize for you the voices of Sky, the press conference and the mixed zone from the Berlin Olympic Stadium.

Julian Nagelsmann (coach, FC Bayern) before the game on Sky about...

… the new return:

“It was only finally decided yesterday, everything is fine and he gave the green light.

Manu trained very well and held almost everything yesterday.

Manu looked almost the same as always."

… the motivation:

“We are very hot, we want to get a threesome today.

The last few weeks have been great, we had a very, very good feeling outside for sure.

I told the lads to just carry on like they did in previous games."

… the danger that Bayern will shift down a gear and underestimate Hertha:

“Nope, I don’t think so.

Had this situation in the past week too.

As long as we're not in first place by a wide margin, I don't worry about that.

… a new Julian Nagelsmann after the last few weeks and the crisis in September:

“There is no new Julian Nagelsmann in front of the microphone now.

This season is just a process, we lost one of the best strikers in the world, you have to find yourself first.

We got off to a good start, then things didn't go so well and there was a lot of criticism, partly justified, partly not.

I don't think I'm a different Julian Nagelsmann now."

... Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and whether it suits Bayern's playing style better than Lewandowski did:

"They both fit.

Choupo can be played a little more often, but Lewy scored an incredible number of goals.

I hope that Choupo will do well again today.”

… the opponent Hertha:

“It will be like against Augsburg.

They will try to cause a lot of trouble.

When the game is calm and we're in control, things go better for us.

Today we have to push the limits again.”

Sandro Schwarz (trainer, Hertha BSC) on Sky before the game about ...

... the sold-out Olympic Stadium:

"It's fantastic, we're looking forward to it!

We want to show a passionate performance.

… his match plan to beat Bayern:

“With a lot of courage and a lot of aggression.

We need a very, very good goalkeeper and a lot of luck.

Yeah, there's a lot that comes together that you need." (laughs)

... Hertha's attitude:

"Wild, yes.

But not naive.

We don't want to walk into the open knife."

… the encounter with Nagelsmann:

“It was always hot duels.

He has outstanding qualities with a super team that he is currently in charge of.

We're looking forward to it."
