Timo Werner
Werner is the second-highest scorer in the Bundesliga with 26 goals and he could be the man who could unlock Dortmund’s make-shift defence, fresh after securing a summer move to Chelsea. This will the 24-year old’s last game at the Red Bull Arena, and he will no doubt be looking to end his time at Leipzig on a high.
Christopher Nkunku
Another youngster who has seriously impressed this season is former PSG man Christopher Nkunku. He has the joint-third most assists in Bundesliga this season (13), and could cause a lot of problems to the Dortmund midfield and defence from the middle of the park. Nkunku has been earning rave reviews for his performances this season, and will be looking to help his side overtake Dortmund with a win this weekend.
Erling Haaland
Fresh off an unusually quiet evening against Mainz, Haaland will be hungry and determined to get back on the scoresheet this weekend. The Norwegian international has found the net twice since the restart, and will be looking to end his, and Dortmund’s season on a high.
Jadon Sancho
Sancho has failed to reach the high levels he set earlier in the season since the restart. Barring his hat-trick against Paderborn, he has been pretty ordinary in most games. This could be his penultimate game in Borussia Dortmund colours, and he will be determined to help his side secure a second placed finish with a strong performance.
