Attack: Jadon Sancho, Gio Reyna, Marco Reus

With Erling Haaland out until next month, Lucien Favre is still looking for a solution up front. While Dortmund have a wealth of attacking options, their only back-up striker is 16 year old Youssoufa Moukoko. It will likely take some more time before Moukoko is ready to start games, so we will likely see one of Marco Reus or Julian Brandt in the false nine role on Saturday.

Both Jadon Sancho and Gio Reyna were brought on as substitutes against Zenit, which will have them fresh and ready to start against Stuttgart.

Reyna scored an impressive goal last weekend, while Sancho has assists in each of the last two games. And the duo will be aiming to an impact against Stuttgart as Borussia Dortmund look to keep pace with Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig.
