Attack: Jadon Sancho, Erling Haaland, Thorgan Hazard

With Erling Haaland starting on the bench against Freiburg and getting some rest expect him to be pushed to the limits in the upcoming week starting all three games, first against Gladbach. Haaland was kept off the scoresheet against Freiburg, and even though he only played 27 minutes that is still a rare occurrence. Our goal hungry striker will no doubt be anxious to get back to scoring goals in the Bundesliga.

Jadon Sancho and Thorgan Hazard will likely play in the other attacking roles unless Favre brings Brandt up and more central instead of playing Hazard.

I like the idea of starting Hazard in this one though, players always play a bit harder against their former clubs as it means more to them in that sense.
