Culbreath seals it!

What a moment for 18-year-old Montrell Culbreath on his first Bundesliga appearance! With Leipzig pushing everyone forward, he is able to race clear of the defence and slot past Gulácsi for a debut goal! VAR checks if Leipzig should have had a penalty instead for an Andrich handball, but the goal is given.

Opportunity knocks

With Hoffenheim (in fifth place going into this weekend) and Stuttgart (in sixth) both dropping points in their 0-0 draw earlier today, whoever wins this one can cement their spot in the top four.

Raum on facing Leverkusen

The full-back told the Leverkusen and Leipzig websites: "It would feel bad to go into the winter break with a defeat. Leverkusen are in a great position, they can win a lot, but we want to hold on to our spot and make amends after the game in Berlin. We'll do everything we can to achieve that."

Andrich on facing Leipzig

The midfielder told the Leverkusen and Leipzig websites: "We have to put in a top performance, it's going to be hard work. We want to give everything we've got before the short winter break and make sure we don't let them get into dangerous transitional moments. At the same time, we want to put our stamp on the game."

Battle for WhatsApp bragging rights

Leverkusen's Robert Andrich and Leipzig's David Raum are in a WhatsApp group with fellow Germany international Joshua Kimmich. Andrich told the Leverkusen and Leipzig websites in a joint interview with Raum that Kimmich is the most likely to post after the game with Raum reckoning it will be "the one who wins" but adding the group mostly consists of the Bayern player correcting their German language skills.

Kasper Hjulmand on facing Leipzig

"I think in the last three months we have played well to be where we are in all competitions. That gives us chances in 2026. We are going to Leipzig to win."

Ole Werner on facing Leverkusen

"After a difficult start to the season, Leverkusen are playing to their strengths again. A bit like us, they underwent something of a face lift over the summer. A lot of new, intriguing players came in. They're a fantastic team who combine really well with a lot of short passes and then attack with real dynamism when the right moment arises. There are a few question marks around personnel this weekend, but we know the type of football they'll try to play."

Five players missing

While Leipzig have lost the in-form Yan Diomande (Ivory Coast) and Amadou Haidara (Mali) to the Africa Cup of Nations, which starts on Sunday in Morocco, Leverkusen have been Germany's hardest-hit club with three key players competing at the tournament in Ibrahim Maza (Algeria), Edmond Tapsoba (Burkina Faso) and Eliesse Ben Seghir (Morocco). Christian Kofane (Cameroon) will also head off on AFCON duty after the game.

Werkself rising

After two consecutive Bundesliga defeats, Leverkusen turned things around last time out when winning the Rhine derby against Cologne. Currently fourth in the standings, Saturday's visitors could climb above Leipzig with a win.

Leipzig have won all six of their home games this season. The Saxony-based side can now equal their club record of seven consecutive Bundesliga home wins at the start of a campaign, which they achieved in their debut season in 2016/17.
