Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund remain level on points after nine Bundesliga games, but the contrast in how they're getting results is becoming increasingly interesting.
Markus Fjørtoft reflects on Harry Kane's growing creative importance to Bayern, Manuel Neuer's future in goal, and why Niko Kovač deserves more recognition for the stability and resilience he's brought to Dortmund.
There's also a closer look at Leipzig's attacking quality and continued defensive concerns, Freiburg's development under Julian Schuster and their prospects of qualifying for the Champions League.
Plus, Stuttgart end Werder Bremen's unbeaten run, Schalke and Gladbach struggle at the bottom, Patrik Schick continues to score for Leverkusen, and Frankfurt rescue a point against Paderborn.
