The Bundesliga title race could take a definitive turn this weekend as Bayer Leverkusen welcome Bayern Munich to BayArena on Saturday. Xabi Alonso's men are second in the standings with 46 points while Vincent Kompany's side are eight clear of their hosts after beating Werder Bremen while Die Werkself were held by Wolfsburg.

It leaves Leverkusen eight points behind Bayern before it hosts the Bavarian powerhouse for a top-two meeting next Saturday. Leverkusen had been hoping to use that game to cut the gap to three points, but the slip-up at Wolfsburg means it will take an unprecedented collapse from Bayern for Leverkusen to defend its first ever league title.

Bayer Leverkusen is set to host Bayern Munich in a sensational Bundesliga clash at the BayArena on February 15. Leverkusen, the defending champions, are currently eight points behind league leaders Bayern.
