Key Players
Marco Reus
Dortmund star Marco Reus has only just returned from injury and will be hoping to finish the league campaign on a high note with Europa League qualification.
In a Dortmund side that has struggled to score at times this season, Reus' availability will be a welcome boost for Klopp's team.
Franco Di Santo
Although Argentinian forward Franco Di Santo hasn't scored in his last four games, he has still managed to bag 14 goals and confirm himself as one of Bremen's key players this season.
If Dortmund have to man mark anyone in this side, it will undoubtedly be the former Chelsea man, who can be a dangerous goalscorer.
