We'll have just two minutes of added time at the end of the game.

Schalke have shown promise but have lacked the clinical touch in front of goal. With time ticking on, it's looking more and more like a Dortmund double over their Ruhr rivals for 2020/21.

Morey has been in the wars in the last few minutes. He was on the end of a big challenge from Kolasinac which earned him a yellow, and now he's been pushed to the ground off the ball by Stambouli.

The second half is rolling with Mascarell and Schöpf coming on at the break for William and Boujellab.

Dortmund finding plenty of space between Schalke's defence and midfield in the early stages, while Schalke have also looked threatening when they have taken the ball towards the Dortmund penalty area. It's intense and it's free-flowing so far.

The derby is underway with Dortmund getting the ball rolling.

A blow for Schalke, as Shkodran Mustafi has been injured in the warm-up and can't play. Bastian Oczipka will come in and place in the centre of defence.

Kick-off is fast approaching here in Gelsenkirchen for what is set to be a massive night for both Schalke and Dortmund. Neither side is in the form they'd be hoping for, and both are desperate for points to help them achieve their goals for the rest of the season. As we know, form goes out the window in these games. 90 minutes, all or nothing. It's almost time for the Revierderby.

The Royal Blues have claimed more points in eight matches under Christian Gross (five) than in their previous 12 (four). Hoppe is Schalke's five-goal top scorer and has been their recent inspiration, despite only making his Bundesliga debut at the end of November. Should the American find the net today, he will be the first from across the pond to score in the Revierderby.

Dortmund have lost three successive away games for the first time in six years, but are unbeaten in five at home under Terzic (W3, D2). But, they do have Erling Haaland, and the BVB No.9 has scored as many Bundesliga goals in 2020/21 as the entire Schalke team (15).

Hoppe leads the line for Schalke who are desperate for a win after seeing Mainz steal all three points at Gladbach. Boujellab comes into midfield ahead of Bentaleb as the only change for Christian Groß's side.

After a midweek win in the last 16 of the Champions League, there are a couple of changes for Dortmund. It's the same 4-3-3 formation but Akanji is out with a muscular problem, with Can slotting into the centre of defence. Delaney is back after becoming a father in midweek, he's joined in midfield by Dahoud and Brandt. Captain Reus is alongside Sancho in support of Haaland.

Schalke head coach Christian Gross is well aware of the significance of the fixture as he goes into his first Revierderby: “We’re more desperate for the points than Dortmund so that we can avoid relegation, so it’s a match with a lot riding on it. We’ve studied attacking situations this week which will hopefully lead to some success. Just like always, we need to find a balance. On the one hand, we need the points and need to attack, but on the other, we can’t neglect the defensive side of the game.”

Dortmund’s interim head coach Edin Terzic gave his thoughts on the game at his pre-match press conference on Friday: “They’re the most emotional games in a season. The fans want you to give absolutely everything for this jersey. Everyone knows you have to win the derby. As a ‘Borusse’, there’s nothing better than a derby win. I’m expecting Schalke to put all their problems to one side in order to try to win. They’ll be very aggressive. That’s how the all games have been in recent years.”

This is the 106th competitive meeting between the teams, and 98th in the Bundesliga. Of that overall total, Dortmund marginally have the historical edge with 37 wins to Schalke's 36, with 32 draws. BVB have won the two most recent games, but they haven't enjoyed their visits to Schalke of late, drawing three, losing one and winning just one of their last five.

Dortmund picked up an impressive 3-2 win away to Sevilla in the Champions League on Wednesday, but they've been hit and miss in the Bundesliga lately, earning just four points from the last 15 available. That has left BVB sixth in the table, six points behind Eintracht Frankfurt in fourth. Schalke, meanwhile, have taken just two points from their last five games and remain bottom of the table, nine points from outright safety.
