Good afternoon and welcome to LIVE coverage of Borussia Dortmund's clash with Freiburg. Dortmund are not in the best form and sit below the visitors in the table - can they get back on track, or might Freiburg end an abysmal run against the Dortmund and heap more pressure on Lucien Favre? Some interesting team news is on the way...

Dortmund are unbeaten in the last 18 meetings between these two, winning 15 of those games.

As for the visitors, Manuel Gulde takes the place of Vincenzo Grifo in one change from the team that drew 1-1 with Wolfsburg last time out. Nils Petersen, who has scored in each of Freiburg's matches this season, will be a player to look out for, while record signing Baptiste Santamaria starts again.

FREIBURG: Muller, Schmid, Heintz, Lienhart, Gulde, Gunter, Sallai, Hofler, Santamaria, Holer, Petersen. Subs: Uphoff, Boukhalfa, Kluber, Kwon, Itter, Schlotterbeck, Grifo, Abrashi, Jeong.

The headline news is that there is no Jadon Sancho in the Dortmund squad. He missed the last game through illness, but will absence will only lead to more speculation over his future. Manchester United are big admirers, but son far have been unable to agree a deal with the German club and time is running out. The hosts’ line-up is not lacking in exciting young talent, however, notably 20-year-old Erling Haaland, who will lead the line, and 17-year-olds Jude Bellingham and Gio Reyna.

BORUSSIA DORTMUND: Hitz, Meunier, Can, Huummels, Akanji, Guerreiro, Bellingham, Witsel, Reus, Reyna, Haaland. Subs: Piszczek, Reinier, Mory, Dahoud, Drljaca, Passlack, Delaney, Brandt, Schulz.
