Team news
David Moyes lamented the impact of a busy period of fixtures on his squad after the heavy defeat to Fulham, but the Scot will want a win here to avoid the knockout play-offs. A bothersome stomach bug ailing several of his squad was a weekend worry for Moyes, who will hope to welcome back Edson Alvarez.
Freiburg have been dealing with several injury issues, but manager Christian Streich could name a similar team to the one that edged out Wolfsburg in their weekend Bundesliga action.
