Player to watch – Jeremie Frimpong
Jeremie Frimpong hasn’t hit last season’s heights so far this term, though he did chip in with two goal contributions in his last two appearances for Leverkusen and the wingback could be a threat again on Saturday.

Frimpong could excel
Frimpong’s raiding runs down the right flank can make him a potent attacking weapon for Leverkusen and the diminutive Dutchman, who has registered three goals and four assists in the Bundesliga this season, will be eager to boost his numbers in both directions here.
