DUESSELDORF, Germany (AP) — Expect goals when the most on-form striker in European soccer meets an opponent whose every game is a goal-fest.
Bayern Munich and Harry Kane — who has 17 goals in nine club games this season — take on Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday in the Bundesliga.
Second-placed Borussia Dortmund faces third-placed Leipzig as they compete to be Bayern's closest rival.
Bayern has won every game it's played this season but hasn't won in Frankfurt since 2022. Win or lose, Frankfurt is always entertaining. Its eight games in all competitions have yielded a total of 47 goals — almost six per game — after a 6-4 win last week over Borussia Moenchengladbach.
Dortmund is two points off the top and the only undefeated team except for Bayern as it prepares to host Leipzig on Saturday. Leipzig has recovered from losing 6-0 to Bayern on the opening day and won four in a row since.
Kasper Hjulmand hasn't lost any of his first five games as coach of Bayer Leverkusen but the team still hasn't found its rhythm. Tightening up a defense which has conceded in each of those games could be key against Union Berlin on Saturday.
Kane's goals grab the attention but Michael Olise's contribution to Bayern has been almost as important. A goal and two assists in Bayern's 5-1 win over Pafos on Tuesday kept up Olise's run of either scoring or setting up a goal in each of his Bundesliga and Champions League games this season.
Nicolas Jackson finally scored in his fifth game for Bayern on Tuesday, his first goal since arriving from Chelsea on loan. With Kane in such strong form, the Senegal striker's chances to make an impact have been limited.
Can Uzun is Frankfurt's key player with five goals and three assists in five Bundesliga games as the 19-year-old attacking midfielder starts to fulfil his potential.
Leverkusen will be without striker Patrik Schick for the first time in the Bundesliga this season. He has a hamstring injury and missed Wednesday's 1-1 draw with PSV Eindhoven.
Mainz goalkeeper Robin Zentner misses his team's game with Hamburger SV on Sunday as he serves the first game of a two-game ban. Zentner was red-carded for a reckless foul on Dortmund's Karim Adeyemi last week.
Last-placed Borussia Moenchengladbach is winless and drifting. Caretaker coach Eugen Polanski is heading into his third game in charge on Sunday against Freiburg. That's as many as Gerardo Seoane managed before he was fired last month. Gladbach sporting director Roland Virkus resigned on Tuesday and the club has said it will sort out the director role before appointing a coach.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Federal officers in the Minneapolis area participating in its largest recent U.S. immigration enforcement operation can’t detain or tear gas peaceful protesters who aren't obstructing authorities, including when these people are observing the agents, a judge in Minnesota ruled Friday.
U.S. District Judge Kate Menendez's ruling addresses a case filed in December on behalf of six Minnesota activists. The six are among the thousands who have been observing the activities of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol officers enforcing the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area since last month.
Federal agents and demonstrators have repeatedly clashed since the crackdown began. The confrontations escalated after an immigration agent fatally shot Renee Good in the head on Jan. 7 as she drove away from a scene in Minneapolis, an incident that was captured on video from several angles. Agents have arrested or briefly detained many people in the Twin Cities.
The activists in the case are represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota, which says government officers are violating the constitutional rights of Twin Cities residents.
After the ruling, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin issued a statement saying her agency was taking “appropriate and constitutional measures to uphold the rule of law and protect our officers and the public from dangerous rioters.”
She said people have assaulted officers, vandalized their vehicles and federal property, and attempted to impede officers from doing their work.
“We remind the public that rioting is dangerous — obstructing law enforcement is a federal crime and assaulting law enforcement is a felony,” McLaughlin said.
The ACLU didn't immediately respond to requests for comment Friday night.
The ruling prohibits the officers from detaining drivers and passengers in vehicles when there is no reasonable suspicion they are obstructing or interfering with the officers.
Safely following agents “at an appropriate distance does not, by itself, create reasonable suspicion to justify a vehicle stop,” the ruling said.
Menendez said the agents would not be allowed to arrest people without probable cause or reasonable suspicion the person has committed a crime or was obstructing or interfering with the activities of officers.
Menendez is also presiding over a lawsuit filed Monday by the state of Minnesota and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul seeking to suspend the enforcement crackdown, and some of the legal issues are similar. She declined at a hearing Wednesday to grant the state’s request for an immediate temporary restraining order in that case.
“What we need most of all right now is a pause. The temperature needs to be lowered,” state Assistant Attorney General Brian Carter told her.
Menendez said the issues raised by the state and cities in that case are “enormously important.” But she said it raises high-level constitutional and other legal issues, and for some of those issues there are few on-point precedents. So she ordered both sides to file more briefs next week.
