Wolfsburg coach Dieter Hecking has restored summer signing Luiz Gustavo to the centre of his midfield for the clash away to Bayer Leverkusen.
Gustavo replaces Jan Polak, who drops to the bench, and lines up alongside Koo Ja-Cheol with Ivan Perisic making way on the left for Marcel Schafer.
It is a typically attacking 4-3-3 from the hosts, with Stefan Kiessling supported closely from either side by Son Heung-Min and Sidney Sam.
Leverkusen: Leno; Hilbert, Wollscheid, Spahic, Boenisch; Rolfes, Reinartz, Castro; Sam, Kiessling, Son
Wolfsburg: Benaglio; Trasch, Naldo, Knoche, Rodriguez; Koo, Gustavo; Vieirinha, Diego, Schafer; Olic
