Talking points ahead of matchday four

Leipzig still the only team with a perfect record - but will Bayern ruin that when they come to town?

Dortmund, Leipzig, Wolfsburg, Leverkusen, and surprisingly, Freiburg headed into matchday three with wins from their first two games, but only Leipzig managed to win their game on matchday three. Everyone else slipped up, leaving die Bullen two points clear of the chasing pack.

Can Dortmund get back on track after shock loss to newly promoted Union Berlin?

Dortmund's title ambitions were dealt a huge blow as they lost 3-1 to Union Berlin before the break. Of course, everyone has to lose at some point, but that wasn't what die Schwarzgelben fans were expecting to see as their team are looking to really challenge Bayern for the Bundesliga title this term. They face a very tricky home clash against Bayer Leverkusen coming up, though.
