The confirmed lineups for the Saturday afternoon match where 1. FC Köln host Schalke 04 at the Müngersdorf Stadium in Köln on matchday seven in the Bundesliga.

Köln come into this game off the back of a 1-0 loss away at Frankfurt following a positive win in their last home match two weeks ago against rivals Borussia Mönchengladbach. 

For Schalke, it was a poor 1-0 defeat at home to Mainz which left the Ruhr side waiting for their first win at home this season. 

Köln will look to make it back-to-back home wins for the first time since January this year and to push up the table and improve on their 12th-place position.

FC Köln (4-2-3-1):

Schwäbe - Sebulonsen, Simpson Pusey, Lochosvili, Sosa - Krauss, Jóhannesson - Maina, Moore, El Mala - Bülter

Schalke (3-4-2-1): 

Karius - Kuruçay, Katić, Becker - Gantenbein, El-Faouzi, Tanaka, Gosens - Dina Ebimbe, Aouchiche - Chan Hwang
