- Manager Tuchel is unlikely to make any changes in the back four with Niko Bungert still injured and Bo Svensson doing a solid job so far.
- Eugen Polanski returns from injury and could start in defensive midfield to replace Jan Kirchhoff.
- Nikita Rukavytsya and Nicolai Müller compete for the spot alongside top scorer Adám Szalai up front.
- Patrick Rakovski will start in goal again, with Raphael Schäfer and Alexander Stephan still out injured.
- Javier Pinola returns from suspension and could start at left-back, alongside Marvin Plattenhardt.
- Mike Frantz and Alexander Esswein compete for the spot on the left wing. The latter will most likely get his chance this time.
- Up front, Tomas Pekhart and Sebastian Polter are the only options for manager Hecking.
