"It will be a special game. Both teams play on the front foot with a lot of pressing and lots of ideas. Stuttgart are a great team with a great coach. We're really looking forward to it and I love these games against top teams. They offer the opportunity to gain some breathing space in the table if we win and, above all, they're an excellent opportunity to learn something. We can see where we are and where we need to improve."

Bayer Leverkusen sit third in the Bundesliga, three points above Stuttgart, after consecutive wins over FC Koln and RB Leipzig. Since Kasper Hjulmand took charge Leverkusen have collected 28 points from 13 league matches (W9 D1 L3), the best start for a Leverkusen coach since 2013 and second only to Bayern Munich in the same period. Hjulmand reports strong training energy and readiness ahead of a match described as a special, high-intensity encounter. Patrik Schick is a key attacking threat for Leverkusen, while Angelo Stiller is named as a player to watch for Stuttgart.
