ON COMES PIATEK
The Polish forward replaces Cordoba for the closing stages. He came off the bench in the second half of the reverse fixture and scored twice in the space of three minutes to give Hertha a 3-1 win. So it’s not over yet…

STOPPAGE TIME
We're into the first of three minutes of added time now.
87'
ALL IN HERTHA'S HALF
It's one-way traffic towards Hertha's goal right now, although Union can't get near enough to Schwolow to trouble him. They're pinging high crosses into the box, but the visitors have plenty of bodies in there to clear each time.
83'
MUSA DOES WELL
The Union forward holds off Stark to get his head on a deep cross from the right. He can't get any power behind it though, and it's an easy save for Schwolow. It's his last involvement in the match, as he's taken off for Pohjanpalo moments later.
79'
BIRTHDAY BOY
Khedira, who turns 34 today, comes on for Guendouzi, and makes his fifth Bundesliga appearance since joining Hertha in January.
74'
FIRST SUB FOR UNION
Ingvartsen replaces Prömel for the hosts as they look to inject a tad more impetus into the attacks.
71'
FINAL BALL LACKING
Union are making good progress into Hertha's half but they just can't find the creativity needed to get behind a deep-lying defence at the moment. Attacks are invariably breaking down before they become dangerous.
66'
HOME SIDE ON TOP
Union are winning more challenges and have had more of the ball, but they haven't really been able to translate that into chances this half. The action is concentrated largely in the middle of the pitch, neither side willing to give the other an inch.
62'
FIRST CHANGE OF THE GAME
Hertha coach Pal Dardai reacts to Union's superiority this half by bringing on an additional central midfielder in Ascacibar, sacrificing a forward in Lukebakio to do so.
58'
TOUSART BLAZES OVER
Hertha win the ball high up the pitch and instantly counter. The ball is worked from left to right and then played back into the centre to Tousart, arriving from deep and around 25 yards from goal. He shoots first time from Guendouzi's lay-off, but it sails well over the target.
54'
FIVE BOOKINGS FOR TORUNARIGHA
Like Tousart, Torunarigha will also sit out Hertha's game next week due to suspension after receiving a booking for a foul on Trimmel.
52'
HERTHA EDGING THE BATTLE
49'
HALF-CHANCE FOR MUSA
Kruse finds Musa with a ball into the box from the left. He tries to control it and go past a defender in the same movement, but his touch lets him down the the ball bobbles out for a goal kick. The forward holds his face in despair, aware that better control would have given him a better shooting opportunity.
46'
UNDERWAY AGAIN
Union get the ball rolling once more. No changes from either side during the interval.

ALL TO PLAY FOR
There have been some thundering tackles so far, as you might expect from a city derby, but the teams are level at 1-1 at the interval. Union started the better of the two and took the lead through Andrich's stunning strike, but Hertha grew into the game and were on top after Lukebakio's equaliser from the penalty spot.

TOUSART BOOKED
The French midfielder is shown a yellow card for a late tackle in the middle of the pitch. It's his fifth of the season, meaning he'll miss next week's encounter at home to Borussia Mönchengladbach.
44'
WIDE FROM MUSA
It's the first half-chance from open play for a while as Trimmel floats in a cross from the right. Musa beats his marker to it but can't direct his header on target.

LUKEBAKIO LEVELS!
The Hertha forward sends Luthe the wrong way, firing a firm shot high to the Union goalkeeper's right.
33'
PENALTY TO HERTHA!
Guendouzi is fouled by Friedrich just inside the Union penalty area and the away side have a chance to equalise from the spot.

20'
TORUNARIGHA HITS THE BAR!
The Hertha defender gets his head on a corner from the right. It loops up and flies goalwards, but hits the top of the bar and goes out. That's the visitors' best chance of the game so far.
18'
WIDE FROM CUNHA
The Brazil international strikes the free-kick well, but it hits the wall and goes out for a corner.
17'
FREE-KICK FOR HERTHA
Ryerson brings down Cordoba with a hefty challenge just outside the Union area. It's in a very dangerous position, about 25 yards out, and Cunha is lining it up...
12'
RYERSON HITS THE BAR!
Stark slips at the back for Hertha, allowing Union the chance to take advatange - and they very nearly do so. The ball comes to Ryerson at the back post and his shot crashes off the crossbar. the rebound falls to Musa, eight yards out, but he blazes it over!
10'
UNION IN FRONT!
A stunning strike from Andrich, who is first to a loose ball on the edge of the Hertha penalty area, drilling a volley into the bottom corner!
7'
KRUSE SHOOTS!
The Union talisman tries his luck from around 25 yards out but his swerving, low drive is well saved by Schwolow.
6'
HERTHA PROBING
A decent spell of pressure here from the away side as they look to set out their stall. They've kept possession well and are linking up nicely, with Cunha and Guendouzi lively in these early stages.
2'
CLOSE FROM PRÖMEL!
The Union midfielder beats Tousart to a header on the edge of the Hertha six-yard box. Schwolow tips it over, but there won't be a corner as the flag goes up for offside.

AND WE'RE OFF!
Hertha get the ball rolling on the Berlin derby!

TEAM NEWS - UNION
The hosts begin largely as expected, although head coach Urs Fischer has opted for an extra man in midfield in veteran Christian Gentner, with striker Marcus Ingvartsen the man making way. Julian Ryerson keeps his place at left-wing back, even with Eintracht Frankfurt-bound Christopher Lenz available again.

HOME ADVANTAGE?
The respective home side has won each of those three previous top-flight encounters. Union earned a 1-0 victory in the first of those, in November 2019, but Hertha have taken the spoils in the subsequent two meetings (4-0 and 3-1). Will that trend continue today?

WATCH: HERTHA 3-1 UNION
DERBY TIME!
Today will be the fourth time these teams meet each other in the Bundesliga, and they come into the fixture in contrasting positions. Union remain in the hunt for European qualification and would go above Borussia Mönchengladbach into seventh with a win here. Hertha have 14 points fewer than their city rivals and are hovering perilously close to the relegation zone.
