Stuttgart coach Thomas Schneider has decided to start Martin Harnik on the right side of his attack for their home clash against Werder Bremen.

Harnik's inclusion means that Timo Werner drops to the bench, while Arthur Boka is still preferred to Konstantin Rausch at left-back.

For Werder, Eljero Elia, who scored twice last time out, continues on the right wing in support of lone striker Nils Petersen.

Stuttgart: Kirschbaum; Sakai, Schwaab, Rudiger, Boka; Gentner, Kvist; Traore, Maxim, Harnik; Ibisevic

Werder: Mielitz; Fritz, Prodl, Caldirola, Garcia; Kroos, Junuzovic; Elia, Hunt, Ekici; Petersen
