Midfield: Thomas Delaney, Mahmoud Dahoud

Thomas Delaney suffered a knock in the game against Schalke, but should be available to start this weekend. The defensive midfielder has been a solid presence in the heart of this Borussia Dortmund line-up since the turn of the year. He has become a key player for the Black and Yellows since the injury to Axel Witsel.

Starting alongside Delaney will likely be Mahmoud Dahoud, who has turned things around with big performances against Schalke and Sevilla. It will be interesting to see if he can perform at that level consistently. But he certainly deserves a chance to start this weekend.

If Edin Terzic goes with a three-man midfield, Jude Bellingham could start alongside Delaney and Dahoud.
