Borussia Dortmund will be eager to get their Bundesliga campaign back on track on Wednesday when they entertain bottom-placed Stuttgart.
Jurgen Klopp's side were beaten for the second time this season with a 2-0 defeat at high-flying Mainz 05 over the weekend.
However, despite Dortmund's indifferent start in the league, a victory in midweek could see them climb to the top of the table.
Meanwhile, struggling Stuttgart travel to Signal Iduna Park with just one point to show from their opening four matches of the season.
The Reds, who are one point from safety, have lost their last three Bundesliga games, including a 2-0 defeat at home to Hoffenheim on Saturday.
Sebastian Kehl could return for the hosts after recently suffering a groin problem, but Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been ruled out with a fractured bone in his foot. Stuttgart have no fresh injury problems ahead of the encounter.
