Borussia Dortmund will be hoping to leapfrog Bayer Leverkusen when the sides meet on Saturday.

The Black and Yellow have six points this season after Erling Haaland’s last minute winner against Hoffenheim before the international break.

Leverkusen are just a point above their opponents after they picked up a big 4-1 win over Augsburg last time out.

When the teams last faced it was a 3-1 Dortmund win thanks to a brace from Haaland. Dortmund travel to Leverkusen having lost their last two visits there.

The hosts are missing Karim Bellarabi, Lucas Alario, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Jeremie Frimpong.

Marco Rose will be without Dan-Axel Zagadou, Emre Can, Mateu Morey, Nico Schulz and Thorgan Hazard.

Kickoff is at 9:30 a.m. EDT. on Saturday morning at the BayArena. The game will be shown in Canada on Sportsnet World.
