Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany insists his side's recent good form counts for little ahead of their blockbuster Der Klassiker encounter with Borussia Dortmund.
Bayern earned a much-needed victory in the Champions League in midweek, beating Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 to move up to 13th place in the new 36-team standings.
Kompany's side have also impressed in the Bundesliga, sitting six points clear at the summit following Harry Kane's hat-trick in their 3-0 triumph over Augsburg last time out.
The Belgian boss has collected 29 points in his first 11 Bundesliga games as a coach, equalling the league record only previously achieved by Pep Guardiola with Bayern in 2012-13 and by Klaus Toppmoller with Eintracht Frankfurt in 1993-94.
They have also won each of their last five top-flight games without conceding a goal, something they last achieved under Carlo Ancelotti between February and April 2017.
They last recorded a longer run of top-flight wins coupled with clean sheets between November and December 2014 under Guardiola (six).
"The last results are gone now. I just want us to win the game tomorrow. It's the Klassiker," Kompany told a press conference on Friday.
"I like that these games have this special build-up. We all look forward to these games."
"If you look at the big picture, it's important for us not to look too much at how others see our players. It's how we see them that's important."
Bayern make the trip to the Westfalenstadion on Saturday, taking on a Dortmund side who have failed to replicate their Champions League displays in the Bundesliga.
Not helped with several injuries within their ranks, Nuri Sahin's side sit fifth in the table, 10 points behind Bayern ahead of their 136th top-flight meeting.
And despite failing to win any of their five away games in the Bundesliga so far, Dortmund have impressed on home soil.
They are the only side to have won all of their home games in the Bundesliga this season (six), with PSG and Barcelona the only other teams in Europe's top five leagues yet to drop a point at home.
Sahin is also the first Dortmund coach since the Bundesliga was founded to win each of his first eight competitive home games in charge.
BVB could now start a campaign with nine straight home wins in all competitions for the first time in professional football. Including last season, Dortmund have won each of their last 11 home matches – they have only ever enjoyed a longer run in 1994 under Ottmar Hitzfeld (14).
And Kompany is expecting a difficult test for his side, saying: "Our preparation is for the best version of the team.
"If they are top then they go high into their pressing game, they are extremely dangerous on the break with their speed on the wings.
"When they are at their best, they are also very, very good at building up the play. It's not going to be an easy game, it'll be tough."
