Last year, RB Leipzig failed to reach the second round of the DFB Cup. This scenario should not be repeated.

RB Leipzig are aiming for the round of 16 of the DFB Cup, unimpressed by injury worries and a large rotation of personnel. The two-time cup winners will face FC St. Pauli on Tuesday (18:00/Sky) and will be without regular goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi, who is suffering from an injury. The Hungarian will be replaced by Belgian Maarten Vandevoordt. Loïs Openda, Lutsharel Geertruida and Castello Lukeba are also likely to get a break.

In the Bundesliga, Leipzig only managed a 0-0 draw in Hamburg in September - a scenario that should not be repeated, just like the second-round exit in the cup in the previous season. "We were eliminated early last year," said coach Marco Rose. He will rotate more against the Bundesliga newcomers than last time: "We are now entering a phase in which we need everyone."
