Predicted Eintracht Frankfurt v Borussia Dotmund XIs

Omar Marmoush looks set to play his final game for Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday night after Manchester City reached a verbal agreement with the Hessen club to sign the Egyptian forward, who has scored 15 and created 10 in the Bundesliga this season.

Eintracht head coach Dino Toppmöller is expected to name the same team that beat Freiburg during the ‘Englisch Woche’ (mid-week games) to strengthen their grip on third, three points ahead of RB Leipzig and with a significant goal difference.

Upon picking up their next yellow card, Ellyes Skhiri and Tuta will serve a suspension.

As for Borussia Dortmund, Nuri Şahin is set to welcome back his defensive players: Waldemar Anton and Nico Schlotterbeck are set to return after illness, while Pascal Groß has served a suspension.

Giovanni Reyna and Maximilian Beier could also replace Julian Brandt and Marcel Sabitzer in midfield, while Karim Adeyemi is expected to come in for Julien Duranville.

It feels like a make or break game for Şahin, who has to rely on players returning from injury.
