Caretaker-coach Alexander Nouri does not have many options to make changes from his first team selection in midweek, even if Santiago Garcia has returned to training. Aron Johansson is suspended and Claudio Pizarro is still injured, so expect Ousman Manneh and Serge Gnabry to be the more attacking options.

After his side's 5-1 defeat to Dortmund, Dieter Hecking will likely be making changes. Misfiring Mario Gomez will continue to be given a chance to open his account, while Robin Knoche could return instead of Philipp Wollscheid. Luiz Gustavo should be good for a place on the bench. The in-form Daniel Didavi misses out injured.

Bremen host Wolfsburg in Saturday's headline fixture, which kicks off at 18:30CEST/16:30GMT on 24 September. Find out where to watch the game where you are by clicking on this link.
