In the final gameweek before the winter break, league leaders Bayer Leverkusen welcome VfL Bochum to the BayArena in the Bundesliga on Wednesday.
Xabi Alonso's phenomenal side confirmed their status as the Herbstmeisterschaft with a win over the weekend - the title of Bundesliga winter champions.
They extended the run to 24 games in all competitions at the weekend, scoring 77 goals in the process, with Victor Boniface, Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz playing a starring role again in scoring in the win over Frankfurt.
After two straight league draws in thrilling encounters with Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart, returning to winning ways was important as it maintains their four-point gap over Bayern Munich, who also won on Sunday.
It is no surprise that Leverkusen have made their best-ever start to a season, taking 39 points from a possible 45.
Their home form in particular has been spectacular across all competitions, winning 11 of their 12 games so far at the BayArena and drawing the other, scoring an astonishing 42 goals along the way.
