Midfielders: Salih Özcan, Jude Bellingham, Marco Reus

Borussia Dortmund went with a more defensive-minded approach against Manchester City. But the Black and Yellows will no doubt dominate possession on Saturday, so we could well see a change in system.

Emre Can did a fairly decent job against Manchester City. But he will likely drop to the bench on Saturday, unless Edin Terzic decides to give Salih Özcan a rest. Özcan also put in a solid shift on Wednesday, and has quickly established himself as the team’s first-choice defensive midfielder.

Jude Bellingham showed his quality once again on Wednesday, and he will be determined to play a starring role against Schalke on what will be his 100th appearance for Borussia Dortmund.

Marco Reus will likely start in attacking midfield, and he will look to lead the team to victory against their arch-rivals.
