Bundesliga table: Latest standings for 2019-20 season ahead of return from coronavirus shutdown on May 16

The Bundesliga is back.

That's right, the German league is set to be the first to restart in Europe after Angela Merkel rubber-stamped a return to competitive football on Wednesday.

That means the Bundesliga has become the first of Europe's 'Big Five' leagues to be given the green light after competitions across the continent were suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The 36 clubs gathered via conference call on Thursday to formalise the fixture schedule, and it has been decided that matches will begin from May 16, restarting from matchday 26 and playing through to a final round of matches on the weekend of June 27 and 28.

All the matches will be played behind closed doors.

So who should you support? Well, what better way to make your decision than to pick through the league table and decide whether you'll be backing the champions elect, pretenders, or perhaps even relegation battlers.

Here's the Bundesliga table as it stands.
