Champions League hopefuls Eintracht Frankfurt will hope to maintain their five-point advantage over Werder Bremen after hosting them on Saturday at Deutsche Bank Park in their 11th Bundesliga outing of the season.

The home side's victory against Stuttgart was perhaps unnecessarily nerve-wracking considering they had taken a 3-0 lead by the 62nd minute before conceding in the 86th and 90th minutes to set up a tense ending.
Boss Dino Toppmoller singled out forward Omar Marmoush, who scored a stunning free kick in the second half, telling reporters: "It is really impressive, his improvement here in Frankfurt. For Omar, he is a really good guy, an emotional guy. He needs to feel the love of everyone."
The Egyptian attacker has netted 11 times and registered seven assists in just 10 league matches, and his form has seen him linked with some of Europe's biggest clubs.
The Eagles have scored 26 times and conceded on 16 occasions, and these are the division's second best and ninth best records respectively.
Eintracht Frankfurt are in fine form considering they have won their four most recent games and have triumphed in 10, drawn three and lost just one of their last 14 competitive matches.
The hosts have also been outstanding at home, winning six and drawing two of their last eight fixtures at Deutsche Bank Park.
Saturday's visitors come into the clash having taken all three points against Holstein Kiel thanks to Oliver Burke's 89th-minute winner.
Werder Bremen were no doubt deserving victors given they created three big chances and produced 1.72 xG, nearly triple the figure their opponents managed.
Head coach Ole Werner's side have been vulnerable defensively this campaign, and their tally of 21 goals conceded in the top flight is the league's third-worst record.
Werner's team have picked up three victories and one draw in their four most recent games, losing just once in that time.
The visitors' away form this campaign has largely been excellent, as while they did succumb 4-1 to Borussia Monchengladbach on November 3, they emerged as winners in their prior five fixtures on the road, drawing the other.
