Forwards: Jadon Sancho, Marco Reus, Julian Brandt, Erling Haaland

With Gio Reyna a doubt and Thorgan Hazard out injured, there likely won’t be any changes to the Borussia Dortmund front four that started on Saturday against Mainz.

Marco Reus missed a penalty against Mainz and will certainly be keen on leading his side to victory on Tuesday. He will start in the number ten role, with former Leverkusen man Julian Brandt playing on the left. Brandt has had a poor season so far, but a good performance against his former club could go a long way in helping him restore his confidence.

Jadon Sancho will line-up on the right wing. He struggled against Mainz, but still has two goals and two assists to his name three games in 2021. And he will be aiming to add to that against Bayer Leverkusen.

Erling Haaland was kept quiet on Saturday, and he will undoubtedly be looking to get back on the score-sheet on Tuesday. He will lead the line for Borussia Dortmund, with Youssoufa Moukoko and Steffen Tigges as potential options to come off the bench.
