Schalke, without a league win since beating Borussia Moenchengladbach on Jan. Only fans watched the game at Dortmund's 80, capacity stadium after local authorities lowered the limit due to a surge in COVID cases.

Raphael Guerreiro went close and Mahmoud Dahoud struck the bar from 30 metres as Dortmund dominated the first half. Dortmund finally broke through from a corner when Guerreiro's shot was saved by Frederik Roennow and Akanji, who has recovered from a COVID infection, was quickest to the rebound.

A superb combination between Haaland and Jadon Sancho led to the second six minutes later. The Norwegian played the ball to Sancho who raced forward and sent a perfect through ball to Haaland who lofted it over Roennow.

Grab your drinks and your snacks, it's time for the Main Event of the evening. The Revierderby! One of the best matches in the history of the league, and not just Revierderbies alone.

Watch and enjoy The Royal Blues' good luck charm is waiting on the bench today. It could be a three or four-man defence, with Mats Hummels and Manuel Akanji the only centre-backs involved.

Thomas Delaney will either line up in defence or midfield, and that will be our sign. Meanwhile, Rabbi Matondo partners Goncalo Paciencia in attack looking to make the most of his blistering pace.

Eintracht Frankfurt loanee Goncalo Paciencia came off the bench to head his side level against Union Berlin on Sunday, ending a seven-game losing run, but Manuel Baum is still looking for his first victory with the club - which would also be their first in 20 games.

However after a fantastic start to the season they lost their way and won just once in the eight matches before the league was suspended.

A big part of their problem has been a lack of goals with midfielder Suat Serder currently their top scorer in the league with seven.

Despite having not played a game since the middle of March Bundesliga title hopefuls Borussia Dortmund find themselves without a number of key players for the big restart on Saturday.

The formation they usually favour relies heavily on the defensive cover and passing range provided by Axel Witsel and Emre Can in the middle of midfield.

He had to sleep on his stomach for two nights. In December , just six months after both clubs lifted European trophies, Schalke's Jens Lehmann headed home an injury-time equaliser for , thus becoming the first goalkeeper to score from open play in Bundesliga history.

Five years later, Lehmann would win his solitary Bundesliga title -- albeit as a Dortmund player. Schalke had a real chance of winning the Meisterschale in It would have been their first since the formation of the new league in But naturally, on the penultimate matchday they ran into their great Ruhr rivals, who, with little to play for other than spoiling the party, sent Schalke packing with a resounding and haunting defeat.

Let's go back to the November meeting I mentioned earlier. I was on air in Dortmund that day with Steffen Freund, a superb companion at the best of times, but especially valuable on Revierderby days given his considerable experience of playing for both clubs.

Steffen and I could hardly believe our eyes as Dortmund, in a rampant mood, reeled off four first-half goals without reply.

But the second half saw Schalke produce the best comeback I've ever commentated on in a major fixture, coming back to level it at the death thanks to Brazilian defender Naldo's injury time header.

This week I revisited what I said from the commentary position in the heat of a remarkable that day. THIS is why they call it the mother of all derbies!
