Defence: Mateu Morey, Manuel Akanji, Mats Hummels, Raphael Guerreiro

With Thomas Meunier and Dan-Axel Zagadou both injured, Borussia Dortmund do not have too many options to make changes in defence. Mateu Morey will likely start once again in place of Meunier. While Manuel Akanji and Mats Hummels will keep their places despite struggling in the last couple of games.

Raphael Guerreiro could be the only possible candidate for a rest, but it is more likely that he will get one on Tuesday when Borussia Dortmund take on Paderborn in the DFB-Pokal. The Portuguese international hasn’t been at his best in the last few games. And he will certainly be aiming to find his form on Saturday.

Nico Schulz and Felix Passlack are the two other options, should Edin Terzic make the call to give Guerreiro some rest.
