Midfield: Thomas Delaney, Jude Bellingham

Borussia Dortmund played with a 4-1-4-1 formation at the weekend, but could revert to a two man midfield to give a couple of attacking players some rest.

Thomas Delaney was excellent against Augsburg, and he would ideally be given a rest on Tuesday. But with Emre Can likely to fill in at centre-back, the Dane may have to play in midfield. Mahmoud Dahoud could also be an option.

We could also see Jude Bellingham make his return to the starting XI. If he starts, he will get plenty of opportunities to venture forward from his midfield role and create chances for his teammates. The German international came off the bench for his first Borussia Dortmund appearance in more than a month at the weekend.
