Marco Rose: "I’m expecting a highly competitive game. If we want to beat Dortmund we have to be at our very best in all areas – that’s our aim and it’s our responsibility to make it happen. We’re going up against a strong team who have their sights firmly set on the title. We have the same targets ourselves and we’re looking good – we’re really strong at home. There’s a real buzz around the camp heading into this one and we’re looking forward to it. BVB aren’t that different from the side they were before the winter break. They strengthened their side with two good signings though, and why there’s still a question mark over the coach, I don’t know. Dortmund are in good form, you can see that from the good few results they’ve been getting in recent weeks. "

Marcus Thuram was back out on the training pitch today and he trained well, but not completely. He’s on the right track and the medical staff will do everything they can to get him fit for Saturday. We have to wait and see how this knee irritation he has develops but we’re hopeful that he will be able to play. - said head coach about the condition of Thuram

Fabian Johnson having overcome a cold in time to be part of his matchday squad.

Gladbach boast the third-best defence in the Bundesliga this season but have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last five games in the league.

The game sees a host of players come up against their former employers: Jonas Hofmann, Matthias Ginter, Reus (injured), Mahmoud Dahoud, Thorgan Hazard and Nico Schulz, while Haaland worked under Marco Rose at Red Bull Salzburg.

Gladbach captain Stindl has scored four goals in his last three Bundesliga games, but all of those came away from home.

Team is playing an important Champions League game on Wednesday

Dortmund have won each of the last nine Bundesliga matches against Gladbach, and also defeated their hosts this weekend in the DFB Cup earlier this season. It's the longest winning streak BVB currently hold against any Bundesliga team.

Favre was Gladbach's head coach for four and a half years from 2011. He managed 153 Bundesliga games and has the third-best points-per-game record for the club at 1.6 per game.
