Thomas Tuchel and Andre Breitenreiter make their Revierderby this weekend as Borussia Dortmund welcome Schalke.
Borussia Dortmund welcome Schalke to Signal Iduna Park on Sunday for the 147th Ruhr derby but will need to secure bragging rights without the influential Marco Reus.
The Germany international faces a two-week spell on the sidelines after picking up a hamstring problem during their midweek win over Qabala in the Europa League and his absence has somewhat dampened Dortmund's preparations.
Thomas Tuchel's men are in fine form ahead of their meeting with local rivals Schalke, having won all six matches since defeat to Bayern Munich, scoring 24 goals in that time and ensuring progression to the Europa League's last 32.
