Eintracht Frankfurt boss Armin Veh is likely to be without Pirmin Schwegler and Olivier Occean after the pair were substituted early in the 2-1 win over Nurnberg on Saturday.
Other than rushing the pair back to feature at the Commerzbank Arena on Tuesday evening, Veh is likely to start their replacements at the weekend - Martin Lanig and Erwin Hoffer, who broke the deadlock against Dieter Hecking's side.
For Borussia Dortmund, the same starting eleven that featured in the shock 3-2 defeat to Hamburg on Saturday are set to retain their places, though Ivan Perisic who scored a double in the weekend defeat, could replace Jakub Blasczykowski.
Jurgen Klopp's side lost their 31-game unbeaten run on Saturday, suffering their first defeat in almost a year in the Bundesliga.

The Austria international came off the bench to net within four minutes at the weekend, and with Occean supposedly out of the fixture, he will have to step up his game for the promoted side to get anything from this encounter.
| Ivan Perisic | |
| Position: | Midfielder |

The Croatian was superb against Hamburg, scoring twice as the 31-game unbeaten run came to an end on Saturday. Should replace Blaszczykowski in the starting line-up, and the young player should make a good account of himself on the right wing.
It will be a tough game for BVB to commence another streak of unbeaten games, but the hosts are on a rich vein of form, so they will be up for it. A narrow win for Jurgen Klopp's men for me.
