Bayer Leverkusen will attempt to consolidate their place at the top of the Bundesliga table when they play host to Rhine rivals Borussia Monchengladbach at the BayArena on Saturday evening.
The Foals will be seeking revenge after suffering a 3-0 defeat at home to Die Werkself on matchday two back in August last year.
Bayer Leverkusen claimed their 15th Bundesliga win of the season and have preserved their exceptional unbeaten start with another hard-fought yet vital victory last weekend, this time beating fourth-placed RB Leipzig 3-2 at the Red Bull Arena.
Die Werkself collected maximum points the hard way, as they came from behind twice in the second half before Piero Hincapie netted a dramatic 91st-minute winner, just a week after Exequiel Palacios scored in stoppage time to help Leverkusen beat Augsburg 1-0 in their first game of 2024.
Xabi Alonso's side have had their seven-point lead at the summit cut to four points following Bayern Munich's 1-0 win over Union Berlin in midweek, and Leverkusen have two more Bundesliga matches to focus on before locking horns with the reigning champions on home soil on February 10.
