SCHLAGER SO CLOSE!
For a second, that looked in from Schlager. He fires a low shot at the near post and it hits the side-netting as it goes wide. Oliver Glasner thought that was in.
90'
HUGE CHANCE!
A cross from the left and Otavio is aimed for Weghorst in the middle but comes to Gerhardt in front of goal. He miscues his header and sends it wide across goal. What a huge chance that was to win the game late on.
88'
OUTSTANDING LACROIX!
Embolo uses his pace to race in behind the Wolfsburg backline from the left and he's closing in on goal. But Lacroix chases him back and produces a stunning tackle to scoop the ball behind for a corner. Fantastic defending from the young Frenchman.
85'
EMBOLO BOOKED
A high challenge on Mbabu sees Embolo go into Tobias Stieler's book.
82'
PLAYERS DOWN
Embolo and Lacorix meet in a big 50-50 challenge and both players are down here. Lacroix taking a bit more treatment, and Wolfsburg will be desperate for the Frenchman to continue.

FINELY POISED
We're coming towards the final 10 minutes here. Will we see a mistake or moment of brilliance decide this game late on?

MBABU AGAIN!
Another Arnold corner causes problems in the Gladbach defence as Mbabu beats Kramer to a header, but Sommer is able to push the effort away.

BROOKS OFF THE POST!
The American defender rises highest from Arnold's curled corner and his header glances wide off the outside of the post with Sommer stranded. A fantastic leap from Brooks there.
61'
WOLFSBURG WORKING
The home side now coming alive more and more in this second half after Gladbach's bright opening to the second '45.
56'
SCHLAGER GOES FOR GOAL!
The midfielder powers forward from deep and does all the hard work before reaching the edge of the Gladbach area, but his shot is wayward and the chance is lost for Wolfsburg once more.

STINDL ON TARGET
A lovely pass from Neuhaus finds Stindl on the edge of the Wolfsburg area, but his shot is a tame one and it's a simple save for Casteels low to his left.
50'
BRIGHTER START
Gladbach doing well to get forward in numbers here early on, but a few misplaced passes have let them down in the final third here.

BACK UNDERWAY!
The second half is underway with no changes at the break.

ADDED TIME
Just the one minute of time added on at the end of this first half.
43'
NEITHER SIDE IN FULL CONTROL
42'
LAZARO FIRES OVER
Stindl lofts a pass into Plea, who does well to hold off Brooks before laying the ball to Lazaro on the right flank. It's a tough angle to score from but Lazaro misses the target all together with his strike.
38'
HOFMANN DOWN
A heavy fall for the Gladbach midfielder after he went up for an aerial challenge. He's taking treatment now having stood back up quickly. It was a heavy fall, and hopefully he can carry on.
35'
EVEN GAME
We've seen seven shots apiece so far, and almost a level amount of possession. Very little to separate these two sides.
32'
WEGHORT SLIPS
It's a big let-off for Weghorst as he is played in behind, clean through one-on-one but slips as he goes to shoot and sends the ball well wide of goal. The flag is raised on the near side to save his blushes.
31'
GOING FOR THE SPECTACULAR
A cross from the right flank by Neuhaus is lofted back towards the far post of the Wolfsburg box. It's behind Bensebaini so he goes for the spectacular but miscues it.

SCHLAGER HAS A GO!
Brooks does brilliantly to dribble past a couple of defenders before laying the ball across to Schlager 25 yards from goal. He gets a shot away, and it's moving away from Sommer who makes a good save low down to his left.

LACKING THE FINAL BALL
Hofmann finds space in between the Wolfsburg midfield and defence but can't get a shot away or a pass to a teammate in quick enough time. In the end, the chance goes away. Positive signs for the Foals but Wolfsburg looking comfortable, too.

GERHARDT GOES CLOSE!
Otavio's cross finds Weghorst in the middle who has his back to goal, so lays the ball off to Gerhardt on the edge. He fires a first-time shot, but it's just over the Gladbach crossbar with Wolfsburg continuing to cause problems.

BAKU BLOCKED!
Wolfsburg are peppering the Gladbach goal as Steffen finds Weghorst, who lays the ball off to Baku in front of goal. He goes for placement rather than power and it's a crucial block from Ginter to deny him.
8'
STUNNING SOMMER DENIES MBABU!
Arnold's free-kick from the right is outstanding and meets Mbabu's run at the near post. He gets a minor touch on the ball to put it on target but Sommer produces a world-class save to push the ball behind. Fantastic football all around there.
7'
BENSEBAINI BOOKED
The left-back catches Baku just outside his own area and he takes an early yellow card.

TACTICAL BATTLE
Both teams setting up in their usual 4-2-3-1 formations and it's making life difficult for both sides so far. It will be a fascinating tactical battle to watch throughout.

MBABU HEADS OVER
A bright opening from Wolfsburg and Mbabu sends the first effort of the game wide over the top having met Arnold's corner into the Gladbach box.

Kick-off!
BIG DAYS FOR GINTER AND NEUHAUS
Florian Neuhaus is in line to make his 100th competitive outing for the Foals; Matthias Ginter could make his 250th Bundesliga appearance
WOLVES IN BIG FORM
The Wolves’ 2-0 win at Augsburg on Matchday 20 was the first time in the club’s history that they have won four consecutive league games without conceding. A clean sheet and win today would extend that record to five.
NO FUN TRIP FOR THE FOALS
Gladbach are winless in their last 15 away trips to Wolfsburg in the league; their most recent triumph in the Wolves’ territory was a 3-1 victory on 22 November 2003.
WOUT THE MAN
Weghorst scored his 14th Bundesliga goal of the season last weekend, a record for a Wolfsburg player at this stage of a season.

GLADBACH TEAM NEWS
Neuhaus scored what proved to be a consolation in a 2-1 defeat to Cologne last weekend. The Germany international should have more familiar company this weekend with the Foals, in stark contrast to their hosts, expected to ring the changes. Plea, Hofmann, Kramer, Bensebaini and Elvedi are among those restored to the side as Rose attempts to get his side back to winning ways.
