With Michael Olise, Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman and Leroy Sané all vying for two starting berths on the wings for Bayern Munich, the competition for places is fierce. So far this season, Olise and Gnabry appear to have been the preferred pairing, but the other two are putting them under pressure when given the chance.

It was far from a vintage performance for Bayern Munich against St Pauli, but they still managed to come away with three points.

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany is looking forward to returning to the city of Hamburg when his Bundesliga leaders face promoted St Pauli on Saturday. Kompany played for city rivals SV Hamburg 2006-08 after coming through at Anderlecht and then left to become one of the top defenders of his generation at Manchester City.
