New Hamburg head coach Mirko Slomka has had to make do without the injured Rafael van der Vaart for his first game in charge in the home clash against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

In the absence of the captain, Petr Jiracek comes into the lineup, which means that the attacking intent will come from Hakan Calhanoglu and Tolgay Arslan in behind Pierre-Michel Lasogga.

For Jurgen Klopp's side, Kevin Grosskreutz continues on the wing, with Sokratis Papastathopoulos once more partnering Manuel Friedrich in the centre of defence.

Hamburg: Adler; Westermann, Djourou, Rajkovic, Jansen; Rincón, Badelj; Jiracek, Arslan, Calhanoglu; Lasogga

Dortmund: Weidenfeller; Piszczek, Friedrich, Sokratis, Schmelzer; Bender, Sahin; Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan, Großkreutz; Lewandowski
