Jurgen Klopp has a nearly full-strength squad of players to choose from for the visit of Freiburg. The only absentees are defenders Patrick Owomoyela, who has a calf problem, and Julian Koch, who is yet to return to fitness after a lengthy lay-off.

Lukasz Piszczek was rested in favor of the former for last weekend's win over Kaiserslautern, and should slot in at right back. Mario Gotze should continue his return from injury on the right wing.

Despite scoring a hat trick last time out, Lucas Barrios is expected to drop to the bench in favor of Robert Lewandowski.

Meanwhile, Freiburg also has a nearly full-strength squad to choose from, with the only projected absence being Julian Schuster, who has a facial injury.
