Predicted RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Frankfurt XIs

After meeting in the DFB Pokal just over a week ago, RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt face each other once again this time in the Bundesliga.

Leipzig are in the midst of an injury crisis and will also want a reaction to their Champions League elimination in midweek. The only major change for Leipzig will be in midfield as Arthur Vermeeren misses out due to suspension after picking up five yellow cards, this opens the door for a return of Xaver Schlager to the starting 11. The Austrian has slowly been building his match fitness as he recovers from a ligament tear. 

Elsewhere, Xavi Simons, David Raum and Castello Lukeba continue to be absent.

For Die Adler, after their midweek loss to Lyon, there will likely be rotation once again. Omar Marmoush will return to the starting 11 after starting on the bench on Thursday, while there could also be a first start for Oscar Højlund due to doubts surrounding Hugo Larsson as he deals with muscular problems.
