If you think Man Utd are running away with the league, have a glance at the Bundesliga. And then imagine what life is like as Bayern Munich’s number one.

German teams have been in brilliant form thus far in the Champions League, but domestically, Bayern are ruling the roost as they are bidding to prevent Borussia Dortmund from winning three in a row.
Currently they are 15 points clear of their rivals and according to Bild, the gap, and number of goals conceded (8) is a record at this stage of the season. In their nine away games they have leaked just a solitary goal. Just by comparison, fellow domestic trail blazers United (31) and Barcelona (26) have conceded far more than the Bavarian side
Their measly defence has meant that life for Manuel Neuer has become quite boring at times. In fact Neuer hasn’t even conceded a goal in six games, so he has had to make his own entertainment.
Munich put four past Schalke on Saturday at the Allianz Arena and while all the action was at the other end of the pitch, the goalkeeper started doing drills with substitute Thomas Muller behind the end line.

Arsenal fans will hope to give him a little more to do at the Emirates when the sides clash in the Champions League next week.
