Eintracht Frankfurt will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run in the Bundesliga to six matches when they host Stuttgart on Saturday evening.
The visitors head into the encounter six points clear of their opponents in the table, having performed above expectations this season.
However, claiming 11 points from a possible 15 in recent weeks has improved Frankfurt's position in the table as well as Toppmoller's status in his first top-flight managerial role. The 42-year-old previously worked as Julian Nagelsmann's assistant at RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich.
Die Adler fought from two goals down away to Werder Bremen to claim a 2-2 draw in their last game prior to the international break, with Ellyes Skhiri and Hrvoje Smolcic rescuing a point for their side. The result left them in seventh position, five points behind Leipzig in the fourth and final Champions League qualification spot.
Toppmoller's side have already secured their place in the knockout stages of the Europa Conference League with two group games to spare after beating HJK Helsinki 1-0 in Finland last time out in that competition. It is a tournament that they will be aiming to add to their trophy cabinet this season, as Toppmoller looks to follow in Glasner's footsteps by winning a European trophy.
