Gomez has hit 12 goals in the first 11 games. Muller holds the record with 40 goals in the 1971/72 season.
Gomez, who also hit a hat-trick in 25 minutes in the Champions League against Napoli on Wednesday, will fancy his chances of adding to his haul when the Bundesliga leaders meet Augsburg on Saturday.
"No doubt about it, I am confident Mario can break my record," former Bayern and Germany great Muller has said.
"This is just for the public," Gomez told reporters on Thursday. "What matters and what remains are the titles you win with a team. League and Cup, that's what matters.
"Obviously I am happy but at the end of the day scoring goals is my job."
He is only the second Bundesliga player in 27 years to have scored 12 or more goals in the opening 11 games with Vedad Ibisevic having netted 13 times in Hoffenheim's Bundesliga debut season in 2008/09 before injuring himself and missing the rest of that season.
They travel to Hannover 96 on Sunday hoping the Dutchman, who has reportedly generated interest from major European Clubs, will again be on target to keep them on Bayern's tail.
