Jurgen Klopp has had to make do without Marco Reus for the trip to Greuther Furth, but otherwise has named a full-strength side in the race for second in the Bundesliga.
Reus's place is filled by Nuri Sahin, who drops into one of two deeper midfield slots with Ilkay Gundogan further forward. Kevin Grosskreutz comes in for left-back Marcel Schmelzer, who drops to the bench.
For rock-bottom Furth, Nikola Djurdjic and Sercan Sararer are named up front in a lineup that also includes Felix Klaus on the flank.
Furth: Hesl; Varga, Sobiech, Kleine, Baba; Furstner, Petsos, Klaus, Prib; Djurdjic, Sararer
Dortmund: Weidenfeller; Piszczek, Santana, Hummels, Grosskreutz; Kehl, Sahin; Blaszczykowski, Gundogan, Gotze; Lewandowski
