Hannover vs. Borussia Dortmund: Team News, Preview, Live Stream, TV Info
Borussia Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel was in a teasing mood on Friday when he met the press ahead of his side's clash with Hannover the following day.
The former Mainz manager had spent much of the summer months twisting and turning whenever the question of his side challenging Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga had arisen, yet this week he seemed far more content to talk about the subject.
As reported by DW Sport, he said: "We want to continue to be at the top. We need to look at each game from week to week."

Before adding: "A comparison with Bayern Munich isn't forbidden. But I don't care if we're on the same level as them."
With that in mind, this weekend's away trip to Hannover offers another opportunity for the new manager to continue his 100 percent record in the league and continue to push Bayern for that top spot.

Team news and lineups

Tuchel confirmed late this week (h/t DW Sport) that Adrian Ramos was a doubt for Saturday's game, meaning he will join Marco Reus, Lukasz Piszczek, Erik Durm and Nuri Sahin on the injury list for Dortmund in this league clash.
Fortunately for Michael Frontzeck's side, Hannover only have to contend with a doubtful Manuel Schmiedebach in midfield, meaning the home side should be close to full strength for the arrival of Dortmund.
Key Players
Dortmund will undoubtedly be looking elsewhere for inspiration this weekend with Reus on the sidelines, meaning the goals and assists will have to come from other options in midfield.
Fortunately for Tuchel, that hasn't been a problem so far, with Shinji Kagawa and Henrikh Mkhitaryan both scoring as they like from one week to the next. Alongside Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, expect to see these two names on the scoreboard on Saturday.
With the amount of firepower Dortmund are bringing with them, Hannover will undoubtedly turn to defensive midfielder Salif Sane to quell any hopeful counter attack. The Senegal international has been one of the side's better players this season.
Hannover may not be scoring many goals this season, but Sane certainly helps to make sure they aren't conceding too many either.
