Good afternoon and welcome to our live text coverage of the Bundesliga match between Borussia Dortmund and Mainz. We will be bringing you all the build-up, highlights and talking points from the match this afternoon, so stay tuned ahead of kick-off at 14:30!

It's really been all Dortmund so far. The early goal means Mainz can't be too patient though.

Malen receives the ball on the left flank in acres of space but he's much too ponderous and gets closed down swiftly.

Schulz becomes the first player to enter the referee's book this afternoon.

Brandt tries to hook a free-kick from deep goalwards, but Mainz manage to get a lot of bodies in the way.

Dortmund are piling on so much pressure already. They win a corner and Bellingham gestures to get the fans hyped up!

GOAL!!! Reus scores against Mainz for the 14th time in his Bundesliga career!

Meunier whips in a cross, Stach's clearance is poor and the Dortmund skipper lashes the ball home to give them an early lead.

KICK-OFF: Officially back from the international break!

There are a lot of British football fans who only associate the song with Liverpool and/or Celtic.

The Yellow Wall sings it too though!

Dortmund are also the only Bundesliga team who still have a perfect home record this season.

These two teams last met back in mid May when goals from Guerreiro, Reus and Brandt gave Dortmund a comfortable win despite Mainz scoring a late consolation goal through Quaison.

The Swede became Mainz's all-time top scorer in the Bundesliga by doing so and subsequently moved to Saudi club Al Ettifaq in the summer.

BVB have started fairly strongly under new manager Marco Rose, currently placing third in the league behind Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen as well as winning both of their Champions League group games so far.

Mainz, on the other hand, have been very inconsistent and seem on course for yet another mid-table finish, although manager Bo Svensson - a former Mainz player himself - does in fact sport a better points per game record than his esteemed predecessors Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel.

Bo Svensson makes four changes to the XI who started the 2-1 home loss to Union Berlin before the international break.

That includes giving a first Bundesliga start to 22 year-old centre midfielder Anton Stach, who got promoted with Greuther Furth last season before winning the Under-21 Euros with Germany, featuring for them at the Olympics and joining Mainz for €3.5million.

After missing the last three games before the international break, Erling Haaland is back in the starting XI as Marco Rose makes three changes to the team who started the 2-1 win over Augsburg at the start of this month.

During the international break, Gio Reyna and Raphael Guerreiro joined Mahmoud Dahoud, Marcel Schmelzer, Mateu Morey and Youssoufa Moukoko on the injury list.
