The lineup for the match may feature Kalidou Koulibaly alongside Thiago Silva in defense, although Raheem Sterling’s participation remains uncertain due to injury. Despite the significant investment in attacking talent, scoring remains a concern for Coach Potter’s side as they face a Dortmund team that has won all five Bundesliga matches since the World Cup.
