Bayern Munich resume their quest for a first DFB-Pokal title since the 2019-20 season against Munster in round one at the Preussenstadion on Tuesday.
The Bundesliga champions are fresh off a stunning 7-0 shellacking of Bochum in the league, with prolific striker Harry Kane netting a hat-trick.
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Matthijs de Ligt, Leroy Sane and Mathys Tel were the other scorers on the night as the Blues were obliterated at the Allianz Arena.
With four wins and a draw from their opening five games, Bayern are once again at the top of the table with 13 points.
On the other hand, Munster are in the third tier of German football, languishing in 14th position in the 3. Liga with just eight points in seven games.
The Eagles have won only twice, a 3-1 defeat of Ingolstadt on 22 August and then a 2-0 victory over Sandhausen. In their most recent clash, Sascha Hildmann's side were held to a 1-1 draw by VfB Lubeck.
