How long can Stuttgart keep it up and are Leipzig ready for another title challenge?

The Athletic's Raphael Honigstein is joined by Christoph Biermann and Oliver Trust to take an in-depth look at Bundesliga newcomers Stuttgart as they find themselves in 5th place after an impressive start.

Elsewhere we look at whether Leipzig have got what it takes to mount a genuine title challenge in the post-Werner world, and whether Thomas Muller's continued good form for Bayern is worthy of a recall to the national team.
