Brad Walker's Borussia Dortmund vs Barcelona selection
Hansi Flick's Barcelona haven't put a foot wrong in the Champions League since a 2-1 defeat to Monaco on matchday one.
The Spanish giants had been forced to play with 10 men for a large portion of that contest following Eric Garcia's early red card, yet the Catalan club still find themselves third in the Champions League 'League Phase' table heading into matchday six.
A key pillar of their success has been their attacking output. Flick's men have established themselves as one of the continent's best in offensive columns, having already netted 18 goals in the competition so far this term.
And while 'Barca' have stumbled somewhat in recent weeks domestically, they still find themselves one point ahead of arch nemeses Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table, boasting the best away record in the Spanish top-flight in the process.

All of the above makes for ominous reading for their German hosts, who trail the four-time winners on goal difference.
Nuri Sahin's crop are yet to taste defeat at Signal Iduna Park in any competition so far this season, but have made habit of conceding goals domestically.
Dortmund have averaged a worrying 1.54 shipped so far in the Bundesliga ahead of their meeting with former talisman Robert Lewandowski.
The Polish striker has already amassed an impressive 23 goal haul in 21 appearances this season, seven of which have came in the Champions League.
Alongside the creative dynamism of in-form winger Raphinha and young starlet Lamine Yamal, the Barca frontline could prove too hot to handle for the German club.
Expect the home side to go down fighting, though. Dortmund have found the net in all five of their outings in Europe this term and 19 of their 24 Bundesliga goals have also came on their own patch.
