Defence: Pascal Groß, Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck, Ramy Bensebaini

Waldemar Anton is a major doubt ahead of the game, and if he is unable to recover in time, a make-shift back four with two midfielders will likely take to the pitch for Borussia Dortmund.

Nico Schlotterbeck will look to lead the way in defence, and Emre Can will likely partner him. The club captain will have a key role to play at centre-back amid his dip in form and the team’s injury crisis.

Ramy Bensebaini will start at left-back, where he will likely have to do a lot of defending with RB Leipzig in fine goalscoring form at the moment.

Pascal Groß slotted in at right-back rather seamlessly against Wolfsburg and will hope to deliver a similar performance on Saturday. His crosses will be a crucial mode of attack for Borussia Dortmund.
