The Bundesliga now looks set to return to action on May 15 after Germany's Chancellor, Angela Merkel, who was originally thought to be insisting on a two-week quarantine for all clubs before the league can resume , has now agreed to reduce that to 7 days and allowed the actual start date to be decided by the DFL (German Football League) ,who will hold a general meeting by video conference on Thursday where representatives from the clubs will finalise details .

Pd = games played.

Pts = points

GD = goal difference

XP=  expected points

XGD = expected goal difference

ITB = inside the box net numbers for the season

L8 = inside the box totals (created-conceded) for the last 8 games.

At present I am undecided whether to go with 8 or 6 games for the last column, but it probably doesn't overly matter as I will be looking for changing trends over shorter periods than that in any case and highlighting those within the matchday previews.
