In the battle for the Champions League, RB Leipzig are aiming for their fourth win in a row. On Saturday (3.30pm/Sky), the third-placed team in the Bundesliga will host Borussia Mönchengladbach, who are 13th and just five points off the relegation places. Leipzig will be without injured central defender Castello Lukeba, who is likely to be replaced by Nicolas Seiwald.
Mönchengladbach have never won in nine attempts in Leipzig and have drawn four times. It will be Gladbach captain Rocco Reitz's first appearance in Leipzig after announcing his move to the Saxons in the summer.
Leipzig will be looking to consolidate their third-place position and return to the top flight after a year without international competition. The top four teams in the Bundesliga are in the league phase of the Champions League.
