Tonight's TEAM NEWS coming up...
Bayern have won their last 10 competitive matches and they are now 18 points clear in the Bundesliga table. Jupp Heynckes has transformed the club's form since his return earlier this season and their fans will be confident of reaching the final of the DFB Pokal.
Paderborn Starting XI (4-1-3-2): Michael Ratajczak, Lukas Boeder, Sebastian Schonlau, Christian Strohdiek, Felix Herzenbruc, Robin Krauße, Ben Zolinski, Massih Wassey, Christopher Antwi-Adjej, Marlon Ritter, Sven Michel.

Bayern SUBS: Juan Bernat, Tom Starke, Corentin Tolisso, Rafinha, Franck Ribéry, Sandro Wagner, Sebastian Rudy.
Baumgart makes three changes to the team that drew 1-1 with Sonnehof Grossaspach as Zingerle, Yeboah and Tietz all drop out for Ratajczak, Wassey and Zolinski.
Heynckes makes seven alterations to the squad that beat Mainz 2-0 last weekend. In come Kimmich, Sule, Alaba, Vidal, Robben, Lewandowski and Coman for Rafinha, Boateng, Bernat, Tolisso, Rudy, Wagner and Ribery.
The competition has now reached the quarter-finals stages and Paderborn are big underdogs against their Bundesliga rivals. They will have home advantage tonight at the Benteler-Arena but they will need need to be at their best to overcome the German champions.
HALF-TIME - Paderborn 0-3 Bayern Munich.
As expected, Bayern are cruising in this DFB Pokal tie against Paderborn. The home side have tried everything to score and could have done but the offside flag was up to deny Schonlau. That could have changed the game as Bayern then kicked into second gear and scored three quick-fire goals. Coman, Lewandowski and Kimmich have all found the back of the net and Bayern already have one foot in the semi-finals.
FULL-TIME - Paderborn 0-6 Bayern.
Bayern book their place in the semi-finals of the DFB-Pokal after a commanding performance against Paderborn. The third division side showed plenty of determination and passion but the quality told in the end.
Bayern will now focus on the Bundesliga where another title seemingly awaits but they look in a good position for another domestic double.
That is all for tonight folks, thanks for joining us. Goodbye!
