Borussia Dortmund host Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday evening unbeaten in their last five Bundesliga matches, but Leverkusen arrive with plenty to prove after their own inconsistent run. This is a fixture that will be settled on basics, not brilliance.

Schalke 04 arrive at Paderborn on Saturday with a squad held together with string and a prayer. The question is not whether they are short-handed. The question is whether what they have left can compete.

Arsenal bring an unbeaten Champions League run and a 60 per cent clean sheet record into Tuesday's clash with a Borussia Dortmund side that has kept precisely zero clean sheets in three European outings. The Gunners look built for this.

Assistant Aaron Danks remains in interim charge for Saturday's Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund.
