Borussia Dortmund return to Bundesliga action this weekend with the aim of winning the Bundesliga title.

The first half of the season was an underwhelming one for Borussia Dortmund, and they find themselves seven points behind league leaders RB Leipzig in the table. But as last season showed us, a seven point lead can evaporate very quickly.

But for Borussia Dortmund to claw themselves back into title contention, the players will need to step up and perform on the pitch. Lucien Favre will be looking to his usual game-changers and key players to help the Black and Yellows get back to winning ways.

And it will be interesting to see if the players can finally show the consistency that was so severely lacking in the first half of the campaign.

Here we take a look at three Borussia Dortmund players to watch in the second half of the season.
