Berlin: After thrashing Arsenal in mid-week, leaders Bayern Munich return to Bundesliga business at Hertha Berlin on Saturday with captain Philipp Lahm backing Thomas Mueller to return to form.
Bayern head to the capital with a seven-point lead in Germany's top flight and one foot in the Champions League's quarter-finals after hammering Arsenal 5-1 in Wednesday's last 16, first-leg.
Carlo Ancelotti opted for Thiago Alcantara instead of Mueller to run Bayern's attack against the Gunners.
The attacking midfielder scored two goals in a display his coach hailed as 'perfect'.Germany star Mueller was left on the bench but still managed to come on and score Bayern's fifth goal in his four minutes on the pitch -- after Thiago presented him with a simple tap-in.
It had been 999 minutes sine he had previously netted for Bayern. Ancelotti is set to rotate his squad with Mueller poised to make the starting line-up at Berlin's Olympic Stadium. Lahm says home-grown Germany star Mueller is working tirelessly to rekindle his form.
