Borussia Dortmund have made the short trip to the Deutsche Bank Park this evening where they face Eintracht Frankfurt in the DFB-Pokal second round. Kick-off is in a little under an hour at 6.30pm CET. 

The visitors give a rare start to Aaron Anselmino, while Maxi Beier gets the nod over Serhou Guirassy. Meanwhile, ex-BVB players Mario Götze and Ansgar Knauff start for the Hessen club.

Dortmund narrowly overcame 3.Liga outfit Rot-Weiß Essen 1-0 in the first round back in mid-August, while Frankfurt brushed Oberliga team FV Engers aside 5-0 to get this far. Tonight is a chance to lay down a marker for both teams.

Confirmed Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Borussia Dortmund lineups:

Eintracht Frankfurt starting XI (4-2-3-1):

Zetterer - Kristensen, Koch, Theate, Brown - Larsson, Chaïbi - Dōan, Götze, Knauff - Burkardt

Borussia Dortmund starting XI (3-4-3):

Kobel - Anselmino, Anton, Schlotterbeck - Ryerson, Sabitzer, Bellingham, Svensson - Adeyemi, Beier, Brandt
