After racking up their fourth consecutive Bundesliga on Saturday, Borussia Dortmund turn their attention to the DFB-Pokal.
Jürgen Klopp's side face third-tier side Dynamo Dresden at the Glücksgas Stadium following an impressive 3-0 win in the league over fierce rivals FC Schalke 04 with goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Marco Reus. Klopp's men will be keen to continue their good form.
Dresden go in to the game on the back of a 3-2 win over Jahn Regensburg, thanks to a hat-trick from the club's top scorer Justin Eilers. This win saw the club end a four game losing streak.
In team news, Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Milos Jojic and Adrian Ramos all travelled to Dresden but Nuri Sahin (injury) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang did not.
Dresden manager Peter Nemeth should name the same side that beat Regensburg on Saturday.
Nemeth was pleased with the result but not with the team's performance. Speaking to Bild ahead of the cup tie, Nemeth said: "I am of course pleased that we were able to win again after four defeats in a row but I'm not satisfied with the second half."
Dortmund captain Mats Hummels realises the side must be patient against Dresden. He said: "I'm expecting a classic cup battle. It might plan out differently but I'll go into the game with the mindset that Dresden will try to play with 11 men behind the ball."
The hosts have already cause an upset in this competition, beating FC Schalke 04 2-1 in the first round.
The last time the sides met was in 2011 when goals from Robert Lewandowski and Mario Götze were enough for a 2-0 Dortmund win in the same competition.
