RB Leipzig vs Union Berlin LIVE: Bundesliga result, final score and reaction
Follow live coverage as RB Leipzig take on Union Berlin in the Bundesliga today.
Bayern Munich remain the team to beat in the German top flight with Julian Nagelsmann's juggernaut side 31-time winners of the competition.
Boasting some of the best players in the world such as Sadio Mane, Thomas Muller and Manuel Neuer they are always favourites to retain their league crown.
Rivals Borussia Dortmund traditionally push them the closest and have won the title five times, most recently back in 2012 under Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
Borussia Mönchengladbach were a force in the Seventies winning the league five times but are without a champion team since while Werder Bremen, Hamburg and Stuttgart are all multi-time winners too.
RB Leipzig are the newest kids on the block and backed by energy drinks manufacturer Red Bull are now threatening to challenge for a first title of their own.

Half time. Union remain patient, despite being a goal down (a very good finish, it was too). They probe and they battle, they have passed the ball neatly, and they know that they've come back so many times already this year. Now is no time to panic. Eisern! pic.twitter.com/NJweCi9GHU

Laidouni is showing some flashes of class, and the workings of a fine relationship with Sheraldo. One ball, slipped through to the striker, is deflected out for a corner while heading for the back post. Another sees him tackled before he can shoot. #RBLFCU | #fcunion | 1-0 | 40' pic.twitter.com/JRW6boovwX
