Schalke
  • Goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi is on his way back from an ACL injury, while Josko Gvardiol battles a muscle injury. Timo Werner is expected to return after illness.
  • Moritz Jenz and Simon Terodde are both suspended after totting up five yellows, but keeper Ralf Fährmann is nearing a return from a muscle problem.
  • Soichiro Kozuki is ruled out with an ankle problem, while Justin Heekeren has suffered an ACL injury and is ruled out long-term.

Prediction

  • Decent on home soil with 12 wins, Leipzig's comeback win at Bayern secured them Champions League football next season.
  • Having failed to find the net in a league-high 15 games this term, Schalke sit precariously in the final automatic relegation spot, and need to scrape at least a point from this game.
  • The reverse fixture ended emphatically 6-1 in Leipzig's favour, so back the third-placed side for the win to send Schalke down.

  • Nkunku is a beast. I wish him the best of luck wherever he will play next season.
