Midfield: Felix Nmecha, Marcel Sabitzer, Pascal Groß
Marcel Sabitzer scored a match-winning brace in this fixture last season and will hope to deliver another impactful performance in midfield on Saturday. Emre Can may well have to make do with a spot on the bench on his return from suspension
Felix Nmecha is hitting his stride at Borussia Dortmund, even attracting interest from the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea. The Germany international will have his sights set on delivering another strong performance in the middle of the park against Gladbach.
Julian Brandt appears set to miss the trip to Gladbach, so Pascal Groß will likely play in midfield in his stead. The veteran midfielder will look to set the tone for his side in midfield.
