Bayern are under pressure

Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer admits Bayern Munich are under pressure to perform in Wednesday's German Cup quarter-final tie at Stuttgart after losing top spot in the Bundesliga at the weekend.

Bayern are chasing a semi-final berth in Stuttgart on Wednesday and Germany goalkeeper Neuer says his side have to get back to winning ways after their 1-1 draw in Hamburg on Saturday allowed Borussia Dortmund to go top of the table.

Coach Jupp Heynckes has said he will field a full-strength side at Stuttgart including stars Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben and Bastian Schweinsteiger with Bayern chasing their 16th German Cup title.

Stuttgart have a miserable record against Bayern in the cup, but their one victory over the Bavarians is special in German history for more than one reason.

With holders Schalke already out, the other quarter-final ties see fourth-division minnows Holstein Kiel hosting German champions Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.
