Striker Josip Drmic, who is reportedly wanted by Premier League side Arsenal, maintains his place up front for the struggling Nuremberg, who currently occupy the relegation playoff spot in the Bundesliga.
The 21-year-old, who was deemed fit late on, will be supported from midfield by the likes of Hiroshi Kiyotake and Adam Hlousek as Nuremberg look for the win that could move them into 14th.
Gladbach, whose Champions League hopes have stalled in recent weeks, have the familiar strike partnership of Max Kruse and Raffael leading their line.
Nuremberg: Schafer; Dabanli, Angha, Pinola, Plattenhardt, Balitsch; Frantz, Feulner; Kiyotake, Hlousek; Drmic
Gladbach: Ter Stegen; Jantschke, Brouwers, Dominguez, Korb; Nordtveit, Kramer; Herrmann, Arango, Raffael; Kruse
