Bayer Leverkusen have the opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table if they can beat rock-bottom Hertha Berlin on Friday.

Jupp Heynckes' side have already created history by remaining undefeated in their opening 15 games of the campaign and a win will keep Werder Bremen and Schalke at arm's length.

However, Bayer's experienced coach isn't taking anything for granted and wants his side to prepare properly and focus ahead of the match in the capital.

He said: "The league table has absolutely no influence over our preparations for this game.

"Anything is possible in football. A game is never lost before it's played, just like it's never won in advance.

"We're preparing in a way that the team can call up a good performance again and play like they have done for much of the first half of the season so far."
