Gregor Kobel will start in goal, looking to deliver a much improved performance after a disappointing first leg by his standards.

Niklas Süle started at centre-back on Saturday, but we could see Mats Hummels return to the lineup on Tuesday after receiving a much-needed break. The veteran centre-back had a difficult time in the first leg, but he has largely been a reliable presence in the BVB defence this season, especially in the big matches. Nico Schlotterbeck put in a commanding shift in defence against Gladbach and should start as the left centre-back.

Ian Maatsen and Julian Ryerson both played 45 minutes at the weekend. And the hope will be that Borussia Dortmund's two full-backs are fresh and raring to go against the high pressing Atletico Madrid.
