Bayer Leverkusen can head into the upcoming international break top of the Bundesliga should they defeat FC Koln on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, have collected just one point from their opening six matches to sit rock-bottom, making this a crucial match at both ends of the table.
With Stuttgart, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig all playing on Saturday and sitting within three points of Leverkusen, that situation could change prior to Die Werkself's home game against Koln on Sunday afternoon, but their destiny is within their own hands regardless for now.
Since drawing 2-2 away to Bayern, when Leverkusen showed great spirit to come from behind on two occasions at the Allianz Arena, Alonso's side have racked up comfortable three-goal margin victories against Heidenheim and Mainz 05, while also swatting aside Hacken and Molde in the Europa League to get off to a perfect start in that competition.
