• Karim Rekik could return from a muscle injury and challenge Jordan Torunarigha for his spot at center-back for Hertha. Arne Maier recovered from the flu and is expected to partner Fabian Lustenberger in central midfield. Ondrej Duda and Mitchell Weiser offer further alternatives in attacking positions.

• Benjamin Stambouli challenges Thilo Kehrer for his spot in the back-three for the hosts. Nabil Bentaleb or Alessandro Schöpf could get a chance in central midfield, if Leon Goretzka does not recover from a minor injury in time. With Guido Burgstaller suspended for one match, Amine Harit could start in attacking midfield, with Franco Di Santo partnering Breel Embolo up front.

• Schalke are back on track after back-to-back wins against Hoffenheim and Leverkusen. They have found their form after a rather poor start to 2018 and want to make another statement to underline their ambition to return to the Champions League next season.

• Hertha are full of confidence after they picked up a point in a 0-0 at Bayern last weekend. They have only lost one of their last eight away matches and hope to get another result here to try to close the gap on the top-6.

• Expect this to be a competitive game from the outset, with Schalke being favourites to edge it at home.
