Niko Kovac is preparing his Bayern Munich team for their fixture against rock bottom Hannover on Saturday afternoon, with his side looking to extend their lead at the top of the Bundesliga.
Bayern had a glorious opportunity to get one hand on the Meisterschale last weekend, but they could only draw 1-1 with Nurnberg and were therefore unable to capitalise on Dortmund's defeat at Schalke.
This weekend it is Munich who play first as they attempt to put the pressure on their rivals. With their run to the DFB-Pokal cup final, Bayern's busy fixture schedule has taken its toll on the squad as injuries have begun to pile up.
