FRANKFURT - Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola is unlikely to experiment when Bayern visits Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Juventus Douglas Costa Jersey .Augsburg was the first team to beat Bayern after it had secured the Bundesliga title last season with seven games to spare. Bayern fielded several rarely used players in April and fell to a 1-0 defeat that ended its 53-match unbeaten run.This season, Augsburg is the surprise package and sits third, although it is already 12 points behind Bayern.Bayern is undefeated this season with 11 wins and three draws. Augsburg is the only team without a draw.Here are a few things to know about this weekends matches:___AUGSBURGS HOPESAugsburgs 39-year-old coach, Markus Weinzierl, spent four seasons playing for Bayerns reserves in the late 1990s and remains on good terms with his old club.Hes hoping for another upset.It would be normal for Bayern to win. But what is normal this year in the Bundesliga? We are going to do all we can to create another sensation, Weinzierl said. To get a draw or to win against Bayern you need a lot of luck. We have to play above our means and Bayern must have a below-par performance.___SCHWEINSTEIGER IS BACKBastian Schweinsteiger played his first full match since the World Cup final in Bayerns 3-0 victory over CSKA Moscow in the Champions League on Wednesday.Schweinsteiger injured his knee in May against Stuttgart and nearly missed the World Cup because of that, but instead he was one of the stars of Germanys 1-0 win over Argentina in the final.I am just happy to be playing football before the end of the year, Schweinsteiger said after an inspired performance against Moscow that earned him Man of the Match honours.The last time I played in our stadium was seven months ago, Schweinsteiger said. The big matches come after the winter break.___KRAMER TO LEAVEChristoph Kramer, who was in Germanys World Cup squad but couldnt remember much of the final after getting a concussion, has announced that he intends to leave Borussia Moenchengladbach and return to Bayer Leverkusen.The timing of the announcement irritated some in Moenchengladbach, since it came ahead of Sundays match between the two clubs.Kramer has been on loan to Moenchengladbach since 2013 and Leverkusen has said it wants him back as of next season. Moenchengladbach also wanted to keep him.He belongs to Leverkusen and he has a contract there, Moenchengladbach coach Lucien Favre. We know that he wont be here much longer.___ANOTHER CHANCE?Timo Hildebrand may get another Bundesliga comeback, as back-up for the back-up.Eintracht Frankfurt signed Hildebrand, who was without a club, in September when first-choice goalkeeper Kevin Trapp injured his knee.Hildebrand, a former Germany keeper, has been backing up Felix Wiedwald and has not played. Wiedwald has been in excellent form but is out for four weeks with mononucleosis and Hildebrand is expected to be in goal on Friday in Hoffenheim, where he played between 2008 and 2010.Trapp returned to training this week but coach Thomas Schaaf said Fridays match may be too early for a comeback.

Next up is the Chicago Blackhawks, who fell one goal short of another trip to the Stanley Cup Final last season. Catch up on their summer moves and the issues they face this season, as well as Craig Buttons analysis of their top prospect and an analytical breakdown by TSNs Scott Cullen. Division: Central GM: Stan Bowman Head Coach: Joel Quenneville 2013-14: 46-21-15 (3rd in Central) Playoffs:Lost in Conference Final Goals For: 261 (2nd) Goals Against: 212 (12th) PP: 19.5% (10th) PK:81.4% (19th) That was Then: Last seasons Blackhawks thought they were primed to become the leagues first repeat champions in a over a decade-and-a-half in claiming their third Stanley Cup in five seasons. Surely, that would warrant "dynasty" talk, no? Well, that debate, though it would have been a good one, never came to pass. The Blackhawks fell short in their quest, cruelly losing in overtime in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals to the eventual Cup-champion Los Angeles Kings on Alec Martinez series-ender. Still, the fact that the Blackhawks came so close yet again will only swell the teams desire to again reach the summit. Last season ended up being more difficult, perhaps, than the Blackhawks had expected, thanks to increased competition in the division. A year removed from the Presidents Trophy (in a shortened season), the team finished third in the Central behind the surprising Colorado Avalanche and the improved St. Louis Blues. But the Hawks got the last laugh, outlasting both of their divisional rivals come playoff time, including dispatching the Blues in the first round of the playoffs, taking four straight after falling behind in the series 2-0. As is expected with great teams, the Blackhawks best players played like their best players. Duncan Keith had, perhaps, what was his finest season as a pro, staking a claim for the mantle of best defenceman in the NHL and claiming a second Norris Trophy. Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa each contributed 30-goal seasons. Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane again put up the type of performances youd expect from two elite young players. At 26 and 25, respectively, its still very possible that we have yet to see the best yet from either. Perhaps, the biggest instance of a player proving his mettle came from goaltender Corey Crawford. Suggested more than a few times over the past several seasons that hes more a product of the Blackhawks success than a contributor to it, Crawford proved his critics wrong last season. The 29-year-old started a career-high 59 games and posted a 2.26 goals against average (eighth in the NHL) and 32 wins (10th).

Analysis: Games 1-20: Dominant puck possession and finishing overpowered less-than-stellar goaltending as Blackhawks came out of the gate strong. Games 21-41: Ridiculous, and unsustainable, shooting percentage, during a stretch in which Blackhawks had nine wins by at least three goals. Games 42-62: Decline started, even with a boost in goaltending, as possession dropped a little and scoring pace slowed significantly. Games 63-82: Struggled late in the year, with below-average percentages, but strong possession still made them competitive. Key 2014 Additions: C Brad Richards Key 2014 Subtractions: LW Brandon Bollig, C Michal Handzus, G Nikolai Khabibulin This is Now: The team you saw last year is almost identical to this yeears with the added security that dual franchise players, Toews and Kane, are sticking around for the long term. Juventus Leonardo Bonucci Jersey. Set to become free agents after this coming season, the pair signed identical eight-year, $84 million deals over the summer. Their annual average salary of $10.5 million per year is the highest current salary in the league, but its hard to argue that the pair isnt fairly compensated. The one key difference for the team comes down the middle. With Michal Handzus departing, the Hawks brought aboard veteran centre Brad Richards to take his place in the top nine. A Stanley Cup winner with the Tampa Bay Lightning and fresh off of an appearance in last seasons Final with the New York Rangers, Richards, for the first time in his career, transitions into the role of a complementary piece. Gone are the pressures of a nine-year, $58.5 million contract to live up to, the 34-year-old comes to the Blackhawks at a modest $2 million salary and could slot in to either second or third-line duty, behind Toews and Andrew Shaw. No matter the role, Richards should have the chance to line with up some talented linemates, in the likes of Hossa, Bryan Bickell and Brandon Saad. If there is some cause for concern, its with the clubs final defensive pairing. Keith, Brent Seabrook, Niklas Hjalmarsson, Nick Leddy and Johnny Oduya represent elite to above-average NHL defencemen. The issue was with that final defenceman. Sheldon Brookbank, Mike Kostka and David Rundblad all had opportunities to claim a regular role, but none did and none is back. The likely candidates to get that chance this season are Kyle Cumiskey, returning from the NHL after two seasons in the SEL with Modo, 2011 second-round pick Adam Clendening or Klas Dahlbeck, a third-rounder also in 2011.

Seeing all possibilities is one thing when it comes to play making but he has the ability to select the play that is most threatening to an opponent. At the same time he has a precision that makes it very difficult to deter him. With he and Jonathan Toews, the Hawks have the potential for a lethal one-two center combination that will keep them contending for Stanley Cups for years. Fantasy - Scott Cullens Player to Watch Brad Richards On one hand, its easy to see that there has been a decline in 34-year-old Brad Richards production in recent seasons, the last two producing the lowest points-per-game of his career, yet he still finished with 51 points for the Rangers last season. Moving to Chicago, Richards is looking at an excellent opportunity. If, as planned, he has Patrick Kane and Brandon Saad on his wings, thats an upgrade for Richards over his most common linemates in New York and its an upgrade for those wingers, who were often skating with Michal Handzus. At this stage of his career, it would be unreasonable to forecast a massive jump in Richards production, but playing with good players does give him a chance to be more productive than hes been in the past couple years.
