Watch: What RBL are missing today
Onus on Undav
Stuttgart have stuttered in recent weeks and clearly miss Serhou Guirassy in attack, so the onus is on Deniz Undav to fire Stuttgart in his strike-partner's absence. Meanwhile, Atakan Karazor misses out this week after collecting a fifth yellow card of the campaign on Matchday 18.
No Xavi for Leipzig
The visitors must make do without playmaker-in-chief Xavi today as he serves a one-match suspension. Expect Christoph Baumgartner and Eljif Elmas to each put forward cases to replace the PSG loanee, while Rose will hope Dani Olmo can pick up the baton after last week coming through his first Bundesliga start since September unscathed.
