BERLIN : Champions Bayer Leverkusen will be desperate to narrow the eight-point gap to leaders Bayern Munich when they host the Bavarians on Saturday in a top-of-the-table Bundesliga clash.
Toiling quietly behind leaders Bayern Munich and surprise package Eintracht Frankfurt, Bayer Leverkusen have returned to the form which took them to a league-cup double last season. Xabi Alonso's side, who travel to mid-table Augsburg on Saturday, may be seven points behind Bayern but are the only side which truly stokes fear into the German giants' hearts. Leverkusen torched all before them last season, breaking through for a first Bundesliga title without losing a game -- something no other team, not even Bayern, had done before.
Bayern Munich were dumped out of the German Cup by holders Bayer Leverkusen as Nathan Tella's second-half goal secured a 1-0 win for the Bundesliga champions on Tuesday, after Manuel Neuer saw the first red card of his 866-game career. The 38-year-old rushed out of the box in typical fashion 18 minutes in to the German Cup last-16 clash, taking out an advancing Jeremie Frimpong and seeing a straight red. Neuer's sending-off brought Israel goalkeeper Daniel Peretz on for his Bayern debut, 18 months after joining the club.
BERLIN : Champions Bayer Leverkusen must win at bottom side VfL Bochum on Saturday or risk losing touch with the Bundesliga pacesetters as their undefeated title season quickly becomes a distant memory.

Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday suffered another early setback in their Bundesliga title defence as they let slip a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Holstein Kiel. Xabi Alonso's side now have 11 points from six matches, giving Bayern Munich the chance to extend their advantage at the top when they travel to Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday. Victor Boniface put Leverkusen ahead at the BayArena after just four minutes with a left-footed shot from a tight angle.
Bayer Leverkusen host AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday, hoping for a sparkling performance from star midfielder Florian Wirtz. Still just 21, Wirtz will make his home debut in the competition, having missed Leverkusen's most recent Champions League campaign with an ACL injury. That he will do so against seven-time champions Milan feels appropriate for a player tipped for a long career on the European stage. Leverkusen's squad is deep in quality and Xabi Alonso's coaching is rightly praised, but Wirtz's spark is central to everything the team does.
