Attack: Thorgan Hazard, Gio Reyna, Erling Haaland

Once again, Lucien Favre doesn’t have too many options up front either. With no Marco Reus or Mario Götze, these are really the only three senior attackers Favre has at his disposal.

All three of Jadon Sancho, Thorgan Hazard and Erling Haaland were a bit underwhelming in their last outing, but so was the rest of the squad. This won’t be a game they can be wasteful with their chances as Leipzig are sure to have chances of their own and Dortmund will need to capitalize on the chances they get.

Sancho has paid the price for that poor showing, with Gio Reyna replacing him in the starting XI. The American youngster makes his first ever start in professional football.

Next. Bundesliga Team of the Season so far. dark

With two very strong attacking teams facing off, we could see a lot of goals in this one, especially if the likes of Reyna and Hazard actually turn up, and are able to feed balls to the hungry for goals Haaland.
