Last year's Bundesliga runners-up Borussia Dortmund will be looking to put a poor run of form behind them when they travel to bottom side Eintracht Braunschweig on Friday night.

The hosts, despite being bottom by two points, have not yet been cut adrift and have put together a mini-run of form to take four points from the last six available.

Dortmund, however, have not won in their last four games, as well as their last four at home and have conceded two each in their last three league games.

For Braunschweig, Timo Perthel remains suspended following his sending-off against Hoffenheim, while new striker Havard Nielsen impressed enough on debut that he could start again.

Jurgen Klopp has another long-term injury to add to his lengthy list with the news that Jakub Blaszczykowski will miss the rest of the season with an ACL injury.
