• Manager Ralf Rangnick could also switch to a back-three, with Nordi Mukiele starting as a third centre-back.
• Amadou Haidara, Tyler Adams and Konrad Laimer offer further options in central midfield.
• It remains to be seen if manager Ralf Rangnick rotates more ahead of the DFB-Pokal final against Bayern next weekend.

• Bremen must win this game and hope for both Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg to drop points to still claim a Europa League spot. They will hope for captain Max Kruse to recover from injury in time to improve their chances here.
• Leipzig will finish third in any case after a 0-0 draw with Bayern last weekend. They can focus on the cup final against the Bavarians now, but will look to gain further confidence with a positive display here.
• Expect this to be an intense game with several chance at both ends of the pitch.
