Almost an immediate impact from Cuisance, who tries his luck from 25 yards out. His strike has some dip on it, but was directed just wide.
86'
Bayern have introduced youngster Zirkzee, who replaces Coman.
Another youngster has also come on, with Cuisance replacing Kimmich.
85'
M. Cuisance enters the game and replaces J. Kimmich.
J. Zirkzee enters the game and replaces K. Coman.
81'
It is now a training exercise for Bayern, who will simply be looking to keep sharp ahead of their trip to Dortmund on Tuesday. Flick will know they will have to be better at the back in that match than they have been today, however.
78'
Almost another for Bayern! A second mix-up at the back between Trapp and his defenders allows Coman to get through, but this time Ilsanker is able to clear the visitors' lines.
76'
E. Durm enters the game and replaces D. da Costa.
B. Dost enters the game and replaces André Silva.
Two more changes for Frankfurt. Silva has been ineffective today, and has made way for Dost.
The final change from Frankfurt has seen Durm replace Da Costa.
74'
M. Hinteregger is unfortunate, scores an own goal!
OWN GOAL! It’s all gone wrong again for Frankfurt, and it is their earlier goalscorer Hinteregger who has bundled into his own net after Trapp deflected Gnabry’s effort into the defender’s feet. It’s 5-2 to Bayern.
73'
L. Hernández enters the game and replaces J. Boateng.
Bayern have also made a change. Hernandez is on in place of Boateng.
71'
D. Kamada enters the game and replaces S. Rode.
D. Sow enters the game and replaces M. Gaćinović.
A double change for Frankfurt. First, Sow replaces Gacinovic.
The next Frankfurt switch sees Rode make way for Kamada.
Minute
Description
64'
S. Gnabry enters the game and replaces I. Perišić.
A change for Bayern, as Gnabry replaces Perisic.
63'
Just as Frankfurt had somehow hauled themselves back into this, one of their most experienced players has managed to hand Bayern a reprieve. Hutter’s head has dropped on the touchline – he knows how hard it will be for his side to pull themselves back to within touching distance for a second time.
61'
A. Davies has scored a goal for Bayern Munich!
GOOOOAAALLL!!! It’s 4-2 to Bayern! Well, this wild match just keeps getting crazier. So reliable, so experienced, Fernandes makes a terrible mistake in Frankfurt’s area, laying it on a plate for Davies – who had made a surging run in from the left – to coolly slide home a finish.
60'
Frankfurt flood forward on the counter, Gacinovic releasing Kostic, who eventually tries to pick out Silva. His cross, though, is cut out brilliantly by Davies.
58'
Well, 10 minutes ago Bayern were in cruise control, but Hinteregger’s double has put this match firmly in the balance. What a fascinating final half-an-hour or so we have in store now, as Neuer prevents Silva getting onto the end of a cross from the right.
56'
OH MY WORD – IT’S 3-2! Hinteregger has his second, as he rises highest to connect with the corner and power a brilliant header in off the left-hand upright. It’s game well and truly on!
Rode gets the assist, and it was a corner put into a dangerous area from the ex-Bayern midfielder. But the credit has to go to Hinteregger, who showed fantastic skill and aerial prowess to head in his eighth goal of the season.
55'
M. Hinteregger has scored a goal for Eintracht Frankfurt! Assist by S. Rode.
Alaba gets momentarily caught out by a quick pass from Da Costa, which had set Silva way. The former Porto man got a shot off, but Alaba got back to make a timely block.
52'
M. Hinteregger has scored a goal for Eintracht Frankfurt! Assist by S. Rode.
GOAL! Frankfurt have pulled one back! It’s 3-1 now, after Hinteregger rather awkwardly swept home from close range after Boateng’s poor header fell kindly to the Eintracht defender.
49'
Another opening for Bayern, as Perisic goes for goal after latching onto Muller’s pass. Trapp, however, is equal to the strike.
48'
Well, if it wasn’t already game over, it seems it now, barring a bizarre collapse from Bayern and a complete turnaround in Frankfurt’s fortunes.
46'
R. Lewandowski has scored a goal for Bayern Munich! Assist by K. Coman.
T. Chandler enters the game and replaces E. Ndicka.
One change from Frankfurt at half-time. Chandler has replaced Ndicka.
We are back up and running for the second half.
GOOOOAALLL! IT'S 3-0! Right from the off, Chandler is caught cold at left-back, with Coman getting free and dropping a cross onto the head of Lewandowski, who duly nods home from close range.
A nightmare start for Chandler, who let Coman run free. From then on, it was simple for the France international to pick out Lewandowski.
45' +3
HALF-TIME: BAYERN MUNICH 2-0 EINTRACHT FRANKFURT.
45' +1
Frankfurt concede possession on the edge of their own area, with Coman picking out Perisic. The Croatia international cannot return the favour, though, and the attack breaks down.
41'
T. Müller has scored a goal for Bayern Munich! Assist by A. Davies.
GOAL! Muller makes it 2-0! After turning provider for the opener, Bayern’s maestro has now got himself on the scoresheet, tucking home from Davies’ cross.
The goal only stood after a VAR check for a potential foul. It was a brilliant cross from Davies, but an even better touch and then finish from Muller, who has put Bayern in complete control.
37'
Another save from Trapp, who manages to get to Alaba’s dipping, long-range strike. However, the former Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper can’t keep hold and fumbles it out for a corner.
35'
M. Hinteregger gets yellow.
A first booking of the game goes the way of Hinteregger, who caught Lewandowski with an outstretched arm. The referee initially allowed play to go on, with Coman seeing a shot deflected wide.
32'
Davies shows a great turn of pace to beat two Frankfurt defenders to a loose ball, but Muller is then unable to control the youngster’s pass. Frankfurt try to counter, but Neuer races off his line to stem the danger.
28'
Trapp is furious with his team-mates as, after some time on the ball, he is forced to punt it long to Neuer due to a lack of options on offer. The next Frankfurt move sees them play it out from the back, only for Gacinovic to concede possession upfield.
26'
Bayern look like they mean business today, and will no doubt be desperate to put as much daylight between themselves and Dortmund as possible. Frankfurt, though, are at least attempting to offer some threat on the counter.
24'
Brilliant play from Kimmich, who circles Gacinovic with ease. The Frankfurt man lashes out, though with little malice, and receives a talking to from the official.
22'
Da Costa, for the first time, manages to cause some issues for Davies, but the Canadian youngster quickly recovers. For a player who is not a natural left-back, Davies has excelled in the role this season, allowing Alaba to play a central role in defence, as well as push into midfield when Bayern are on the ball.
18'
Frankfurt get on the attack as they search for an immediate response, with Rode – against his former club – trying his luck from 20 yards out. His shot is a wild one, though, and sails harmlessly wide.
17'
L. Goretzka has scored a goal for Bayern Munich! Assist by T. Müller.
16'
WHAT A GOAL! That is outstanding from Bayern, who lead 1-0 thanks to Goretzka! It has certainly been coming, and Muller is the creator with a wonderful cross into the path of the former Schalke star, who makes no mistake with a brilliant first-time finish.
Muller has been in fabulous form since Flick took charge this season, thriving in a free role in midfield. This time he popped up on the left, drilling a perfectly weighted cross towards Goretzka, who did the rest.
9'
Fortunately for Frankfurt, and the officials, nothing comes of the Bayern corner. But there is little rest for the visiting defence, who remain under pressure.
7'
Bayern have wasted little time in stamping their authority on this match. Kimmich links up with Muller on the edge of the area, with the latter looping in a cross to the back post. Lewandowski seems to head it wide, but a corner is given.
3'
It has been a fast start from Bayern, with Coman already exploiting Frankfurt’s defence with his pace. Ndicka, who had a poor match last time out, managed to stall his progress, though.
1'
KICK-OFF! Bayern, in their all-red home strip, get proceedings underway.
Welcome to LIVE commentary of today’s final Bundesliga match, which sees leaders Bayern Munich host struggling Eintracht Frankfurt.
Borussia Dortmund’s comfortable 2-0 win over Wolfsburg has put the pressure on Bayern heading into this match, with Hansi Flick’s side just a point clear of their title rivals as things stand.
Frankfurt, meanwhile, are in torrid form, having lost 3-1 to Borussia Monchengladbach last time out – a fourth successive league defeat. They sit in 13th, five points clear of the relegation play-off spot.
BAYERN (4-3-3): Manuel Neuer; Benjamin Pavard, Jerome Boateng, David Alaba, Alphonso Davies; Thomas Muller, Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka; Kingsley Coman, Robert Lewandowski, Ivan Perisic.
FRANKFURT SUBS: Jonathan de Guzman, Djibril Sow, Bas Dost, Daichi Kamada, Lucas Torro, Makoto Hasebe, Timothy Chandler, Erik Durm, Frederik Ronnow.
Adi Hutter, meanwhile, has made four alterations to his side. Out go Dost, Sow, Kamada and Abraham, with Silva – who scored a consolation against Gladbach – Gacinovic, Fernandes and Da Costa coming in.
Bayern face Dortmund in a huge clash on Tuesday, so a win today – to restore a four-point lead at the top – is vital. In front of an empty Allianz Arena, the teams are out and we’re almost ready for kick-off…
FRANKFURT (4-2-3-1): Kevin Trapp; Almamy Toure, Stefan Ilsanker, Martin Hinteregger, Evan Ndicka; Gelson Fernandes, Sebastian Rode; Danny da Costa, Mijat Gacinovic, Filip Kostic; Andre Silva.
Frankfurt have a mountain to climb but, in the form they are in, it is difficult to see Hutter’s side coming back from this, and it may be a matter of damage limitation for the visitors.
BAYERN SUBS: Alvaro Odriozola, Javi Martinez, Mickael Cuisance, Lucas Hernandez, Serge Gnabry, Sven Ulreich, Lars Lukas Mai, Oliver Batista Meier, Joshua Zirkzee.
That’s all for now. Until next time, goodbye!
Bayern’s attention will now switch firmly to Tuesday and Signal Iduna Park, where they face Dortmund in a match which could be destined to settle the title race. Frankfurt, meanwhile, have now lost five Bundesliga games in a row.
