VfB Stuttgart: Dan-Axel Zagadou and Hiroki Ito are missing
Update, November 4, 7:46 p.m .:
As VfB announced before kick-off, Dan-Axel Zagadou and Hiroki Ito are absent due to illness.
Instead, Dinos Mavropanos and Pascal Stenzel will be in the starting XI.
Instead of Silas, who initially sits on the bench, VfB Tiago Tomas starts.
Otherwise, Stuttgart's interim coach Michael Wimmer, like last time against FC Augsburg, relies on a dual leadership of Luca Pfeiffer and Serhou Guirassy.

VfB Stuttgart are without Enzo Millot and Tanguy Coulibaly, Dan-Axel Zagaodu is questionable
For the game at Borussia Mönchengladbach, VfB Stuttgart will have to do without Enzo Millot and Tanguy Coulibaly, who are struggling with muscular problems.
Both are currently only doing part training.
In addition, Dan-Axel Zagadou is questionable.
The French defender has contracted the flu.
Double top again at VfB Stuttgart?
VfB Stuttgart could rely on a double lead in Gladbach, as they did against FC Augsburg.
Serhou Guirassy and Luca Pfeiffer complemented each other well and were part of the recipe for success in the home game.
A model for the future?
Pfeiffer himself said: "Why not, we won."
Borussia Mönchengladbach is playing an inconsistent season
Gladbach are longing for consistency this season.
After the 5-2 derby triumph over 1. FC Köln, there were two defeats against Union Berlin (1-2) and Eintracht Frankfurt (1-3) and a draw at VfL Wolfsburg (2-2).
What has characterized the foals throughout the season so far is their defensive vulnerability.
Borussia have conceded at least two goals in each of the last six competitive games.
VfB Stuttgart wants to build on the performance against FC Augsburg
Mönchengladbach/Stuttgart - Can VfB Stuttgart improve?
On the last matchday, VfB beat FC Augsburg 2-1 and thus showed character in a duel with a direct competitor.
Only in added time did Waldemar Anton score the winning goal, which was deserved after a passionate performance.
The Stuttgart defended with a lot of discipline over long stretches and played forward with an unconditional will, especially in the final phase.
The Wimmer squad still lacked these virtues in the 0:5 swatter against Borussia Dortmund.
