Charles Aranguiz, Patrik Schick and Andrey Lunev are expected to miss Sunday's game, though Leverkusen's squad looks fit and healthy elsewhere. Xabi Alonso went full-strength for Bayer's Europa League tie against Union St. Gilloise on Thursday and fatigue could be an issue for the hosts on Sunday.

RB Leipzig
Xaver Schalger, Yussuf Poulsen and Peter Gulasci are all still out injured for RB Leipzig, while Emil Forsberg and Mohamed Simakan are rated as doubtful. David Raum is also serving a suspension and won't feature this weekend.
Predicted Lineup for RB Leipzig: Blaswich – Klostermann, Orban, Gvardiol, – Henrichs, Kampl, Haidara, Halstenberg – Szoboszlai, Olmo, Werner
Player to Watch – Timo Werner
Timo Werner was in electric form last weekend and included in his haul of two goals and an assist in RB Leipzig’s 3-2 win over Augsburg was a sensational strike from distance. Werner has been reborn since his return to Germany from Chelsea and the German international is one to track closely again on Sunday.
