Wing-backs and Midfield: Achraf Hakimi, Axel Witsel, Thomas Delaney, Raphael Guerreiro
Achraf Hakimi and Raphael Guerreiro will be the two wing-backs again on Saturday. Both players are in good form, and have five goals between them since the restart. They will once again be key on Saturday, in what could be a tight contest.
With Emre Can likely to move to the back three, Lucien Favre will have to make a change to his midfield pivot. Thomas Delaney is set to keep his spot in the defensive midfield role. The Dane often struggles against teams that defend deep, but the game against Hertha Berlin should be much more in his wheelhouse.
Axel Witsel came on for the last 20 minutes against Paderborn, and will be in a better place fitness wise after training all week. Although it remains to be seen if he is fit enough to play from the start. If the Belgian international is not yet ready to start, Julian Brandt is the obvious candidate to play in the number eight role.
