Matt, Manu and Stefan are back to break down the latest Bundesliga weekend. The lads kick off with RB Leipzig's comfortable win over Union Berlin, asking whether Union's relaxed attitude in the mixed zone should be setting off alarm bells and whether the players staged a boycott of their own. Leipzig, meanwhile, are firmly on course for a Champions League return.Then it's the "Rhine derby" as Köln hosted Leverkusen. Despite a performance full of fight and an xG that told a very different story, Köln came away empty-handed, with Patrick Schick once again proving to be Leverkusen's lifeline. Stefan draws on his Monday Bulletin analysis and reaches for a Pirates of the Caribbean metaphor to explain why Köln never quite turn up when it matters most.The relegation battle takes centre stage as the boys examine St. Pauli's loss to a resurgent Heidenheim, raising the question: could Frank Schmidt's side pull off a great escape? And with Köln, HSV and others all stumbling along with 31 points, who's actually going to blink first? Manu also calls Schalke's promotion to the Bundesliga. Consider it official.
