Dortmund destroyed the La Liga side last week in a 4-1 blowout, but this time around it's Sevilla's turn to play at the electric Signal Iduna Park. With three Champions League games remaining, BVB are behind Manchester City with six points, while Sevilla sit last with Copenhagen at just one point.
After dealing with a sickness throughout the past week, Mats Hummels is expected to suit up along with Thomas Meunier, who missed Der Klassiker due to personal reasons.
Coach Edin Terzic said that, "I'm still pessimistic about Marco Reus that it's enough for tomorrow, so we're looking towards Berlin on Sunday. Gregor Kobel will be back in goal if he signals to me later that he feels 100% fit."
With Meunier's expected to return, he will compete for a starting nod along with Marius Wolf on the right side, meaning Niklas Süle will return to his usual place in center defense.
In a press conference, Süle commented that, "I get to know a new experience with Edin again. I've never had a coach so tied to a club. Edin is a Dortmund boy and we notice that every day as a team. That he just enjoys working for his childhood club."
Coming off several excellent performances, 17-year-old Youssoufa Moukoko is likely to start up front, while Der Klassiker savior Anthony Modeste should also receive playing time. Karim Adeyemi and Donyell Malen are healthy options on the wings, but Gio Reyna won't play from the off as continues to make his way back to full fitness.
Terzic added: "Of course, some things will change due to the change of coach at Sevilla. They showed a good performance against Bilbao in the weekend, you can see their potential."
Sevilla drew with Athletic Club on Saturday in their first game since sacking Julen Lopetegui. Jorge Sampaoli, who's in his second stint as Sevilla's head coach, changes his team's style of play on a game-by-game basis unlike his predecessor.
Hummels, Reyna and Meunier are all expected to be in the squad, while Kobel remains questionable. Reus, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, Sebastien Haller, Mahmoud Dahoud and Mateu Morey will miss out.
For the Spanish club, Tecatito and Karim Rekik are out with injuries.
