Ivica Olic and Ivan Perisic have both been named in the Wolfsburg side for the meeting with Stuttgart in the Bundesliga.

Both players were substitutes for the DFB-Pokal victory over Heidenheim on Wednesday night, but the Croatian duo are welcomed back as Wolfsburg look to put pressure on leaders Bayern Munich.

Stuttgart boss Armin Veh has elected to leave Timo Werner on the bench, despite being without Vedad Ibisevic through injury.

As a result, it is the in-form Martin Harnik who leads the line for the hosts, while Alexandru Maxim keeps his place in midfield.

Stuttgart: Kirschbaum, Schwaab, Niedermeier, Harnik, Romeu, Klein, Kostic, Gentner, Sararer, Rudiger, Maxim

Wolfsburg: Benaglio, Jung, Naldo, Knoche, Schäfer, Luiz Gustavo, Guilavogui, Caligiuri, De Bruyne, Perisic, Olic
