Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE commentary as third-placed RB Leipzig host 11th-placed Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga. Kick-off is at 5.30 BST.

KICK OFF: Hertha get the game underway in their black shirts.

COUNTDOWN: 5 minutes until kick off!

New Hertha head coach Bruno Labbadia has overseen back-to-back wins against Hoffenheim and Union Berlin since taking over from Alexander Nouri.

Three wins on the spin is a feat the capital club last achieved in September 2016.

And maybe Cunha has extra incentive to perform against his former club. He joined Hertha in January after being restricted to just 35 Bundesliga appearances in his 18 months a Leipzig player, making only 11 starts and scoring twice.

In six starts for Hertha, he has netted four times.

There should be goals this evening.

Werner ended an eight-game barren spell in style on Sunday with his hat-trick. He has 24 goals to his name this term, trailing Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski at the top of the scoring charts by three.

HERTHA BERLIN: Jarstein, Pekarik, Skjebred, Darida, Grujic, Ibisevic, Boyata, Platternhardt, Torunarigha, Cunha, Lukebakio...Subs: Smarsch, Piatek, Klunter, Dilrosun, Mittelstadt, Maier, Dardai, Ngankam, Samardzic.

No changes to the side that won the Berlin derby 4-0 last Friday.

RB LEIPZIG: Gulacsi, Upamecano, Sabitzer, Klostermann, Nkunku, Halstenberg, Olmo, Laimer, Kampl, Schick, Werner...Subs: Mvogo, Angelino, Orban, Haidara, Forsberg, Adams, Lookman, Wolf, Mukiele.

Patrick Schick is back in the starting XI.

The man to watch for the visitors is the Brazilian Matheus Cunha who has been causing quite a stir.

Last time out, Timo Werner bagged a hat-trick as RB Leipzig beat FSV Mainz 5-0. But they will be without captain Yussuf Poulsen today after he suffered a ligament injury in the game.
