Game over
Honours even. That was a bit of a battle. Union's point takes them level with Bayern Munich at the top of the table. Schalke have now drawn their last four games 0-0.

Union win an injury-time corner. Trimmel delivers, Schalke clear but the ball comes back in and Roussillon gets something on it. The ball trickles wide.

Man down
Handbags here. Brunner was down in his own box while Union continued to attack, which didn't please the visitors one bit. The ref separates the angry factions.

Jordan miss
Becker from the right this time seeks out Jordan, who jumps with Yoshida and can only divert off target.

More swaps
Another double change here with Roussillon and Thorsby now out there challenging.

Schalke changes
Thomas Reis throws former Union forward Simon Terodde into the mix. Kenan Karaman is also on for Die Knappen for the last ten.
78'
Seguin waste
Paul Seguin arcs a harmless shot into the hands of Fährmann. Seguin was well-placed there and he looks pretty angry with himself following that effort.
76'
Jenz clued in
Becker again from the left and he almost finds Jordan this time but Moritz Jenz gets a crucial touch to concede the corner, of which nothing comes.
74'
Becker on the move
Becker goes on a run down the left and makes space for a well-hit cross towards the near post. Fährmann dives out and gobbles that up.

Knoche wary
Marius Bülter works his way into the danger zone from the left and prods a pass towards the penalty area. Knoche gets a block on the delivery.

Becker is on
Union's highly dangerous forward makes his way into the action.

Schalke up their game
A decent spell from Schalke this. Zalazar, Frey and Bülter are making nuisances of themselves. Union are going to make a change ...

Gießelmann booked
Gießelmann trods on Drexler out by the touchline. That's a nasty foul. A booking for the Union man.
53'
Change due?
Union's subs are warming up. Will we see Sheraldo Becker at some point here? The forward's presence on the sideline has upped Behrens' game in the past few minutes. Union's No. 17 has been looking very lively.

Schalke's dry spell
Goals have certainly been hard to come by for Schalke of late. The Royal Blues have failed to score in the first half of their last seven Bundesliga games.

Gießelmann menace
Niko Gießelmann creates some panic in the Schalke penalty area. The visitors manage to clear their lines but the home crowd enjoyed that moment.

Khedira steps forward and wallops one at the target from distance. Fährmann gets two hands behind that. Straightforward stop for the Schalke custodian.

Uronen hobbles out of the contest with a look of huge disappointment on his face. He's replaced by Ouwejan.

Rock-bottom visitors
While Union continue to defy the odds at the top of the table, Schalke are struggling at the other end. They are currently in last place and a whole five points off second-bottom Hertha Berlin. They need points, and they need them fast.

Watch: Union hanging tough at the top
Chance to go top
Thanks to Bayern's slip-up at Gladbach yesterday, Union will move into top spot if they beat Schalke. Victory would move then two points clear of the defending champions going into the pair's meeting next Sunday. Tasty.

Strong at home
Urs Fischer's Union side are unbeaten in their last 15 Bundesliga home games. Only Bayern (17 matches) are currently on a longer such streak.
On a roll, part II
Schalke are enjoying their best run of form this season too, relatively speaking: the Bundesliga's bottom club have posted 0-0 draws in each of their last three games. It's the first time this term that they taken at least a point in three successive matches, and the first time in the club's history that they have kept three clean sheets in a row in the Bundesliga.
On a roll
Union have won all six competitive games so far in 2023, and by winning five in a row in the Bundesliga they've set a new club record for consecutive victories.
