...ABOUT MATCH

April will be one of the most difficult months of my career. But we're looking forward to it and it is in our hands to make sure it's a great month. I want Saturday to be a game where everyone has fun and is happy with our performance.

...STUTTGART

They also have players who set the two of them up and play dangerous balls. They have stability at the back, are extremely versatile and full of self-belief. That's a dangerous mix. We want them to have their toughest game of the season by showing them what we're capable of here in Dortmund.

...WIN

Those were the first 50 years. There are still many great moments and events awaiting us. Who knows what will happen on Saturday. We'll be there and ready for the next great experience. A win against Stuttgart would not only be a fitting birthday present, but also an important step in the fight for Champions League participation. We were delighted with the win and the manner of it too. But on Sunday we switched our focus forwards again. We of course want to take confidence from the game, but also a lot of desire and hunger. Over the past few weeks, we have gathered reasons to be very confident in this very special game for us.

...ADDITIONAL NOTES

• We will be able to recall Marcel Sabitzer, who has now served his suspension following a red card. Gregor Kobel, who has been back in team training since Tuesday following a stomach bug, is also available again. Donyell Malen was still recovering from a knock to his thigh on Wednesday. It remains to be seen whether he will be able to play a part against Stuttgart.
