Bayern Munich vs. VfB Stuttgart: News, updates, and gamethread

Are you tired from the thoroughly riveting and all consuming international break? If you are, you might want to see a doctor for inverse normalcy disease which is a thing I just made up. Either way it doesn't matter because Bayern Munich and the Bundesliga are back!

Bayern hosts VfB Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena while elsewhere in the Bundesliga other teams attempt to win, or draw, or not lose or something. Either way it will be a fun morning/afternoon/evening/midnight (depending on your particular geographic proximity to Germany) of Bundesliga action.
