Jadon Sancho, Marco Reus, Erling Haaland

Jadon Sancho has started 2020 with a bang. The Englishman has scored and assisted in both of Borussia Dortmund’s games since the turn of the year, and he will be aiming to keep that run going against Union Berlin.

Marco Reus marked his return to form with a goal and assist against FC Köln. He started as a false nine last weekend, but could switch to a wider role if Lucien Favre decides to give Erling Haaland his first start on Saturday.

It remains to be seen who will join Reus and Sancho in Borussia Dortmund’s front three. Erling Haaland has made a devastating impact off the bench in the last two games. He will be itching to make his first start on Saturday, and could come into the team in place of Thorgan Hazard.
