Attack: Marco Reus, Jadon Sancho, Erling Haaland

Both Marco Reus and Erling Haaland were subbed on against Hoffenheim and ended up making the difference in the 1-0 win. We haven’t seen many starts for Marco Reus yet, and this would be a great opportunity now that he is back to full fitness, or close to it.

Haaland is also a must start in big games like this, Dortmund simply put aren’t anywhere near as good of a team without him. He should be well rested after spending 60+ minutes on the bench against Hoffenheim.

One of Gio Reyna or Jadon Sancho will likely take up the third spot in the Dortmund attack. While Reyna has enjoyed an impressive start to the season, Sancho is desperately in need of more playing time. The Englishman looked a little rusty against Hoffenheim, and Dortmund will need him to be at his best if they are to have any chance of winning a trophy this season.
