15 to go, this may have some late drama in it, he says in hope.

Wolfsburg look to work a corner from the training ground, Xaver Schlager peeling away from his marker with a run to the near post, but he drives Josip Brekalo's pass way over.

The players, coaches and officials are drenched, someone get a few towels in please.

With the rain hammering down, Wolfsburg's Felix Klaus hammers a shot into the stands.

Absolutely lashing it down now in Bremen.

Like a Tuesday afternoon in Manchester.

Nice pace on the ball from Ludwig Augustinsson's curling free-kick but it is always rising.

Now then.

Good opportunity for Werder here as Kevin Mbabu comes hurtling in from behind to barge over Yuya Osako.

The hosts have a free-kick on the edge of the box.

Severe lack of quality in the final third from both sides.

But a crunching challenge from Milos Veljkovic on Josip Brekalo brings the crowd to life.

No it doesn't.

An hour gone, Werder threaten.

Theodor Gebre Selassie feeds Davy Klaassen inside the area, but the Dutchman's vicious shot is blocked at the near post by the covering John Brooks.

Delightful from Joshua Sargant, dragging the ball back and evading Marin Pongracic.

But the Wolfsburg man does not like it and hacks him down from behind, earning a clear yellow card.

Good chance this.

Kevin Mbabu darts down the right and curls in a well-shaped cross into the area for Admir Mehmedi.

But the Swiss international doesn't want it on his head, plonking a feeble header wide of goal.

Needed to really attack it like Mario Jardel would have done.

Craig Smith: Genius decision by the kit manufacturers to give Wolfsburg that kit as an alternative to their green home kit.

A nasty collision and Jimmy Bullard - I mean Xaver Schlager - is into Bibiana Steinhaus's book for a very late challenge on Joshua Sargant.

Schlager did more damage to himself than the opponent.

On-loan Everton defender Jonjoe Kenny starts for Schalke in their match against Union Berlin which kicks off at 14:30 BST.

Not sure who it is, the individual in question is wearing a Werder T-shirt, but he has brought a drum into the stadium and is hammering away in an attempt to create some atmosphere.

Any chance of a goal lads?

Off we go.

Here are the two sides taking a knee before kick-off...

Werder Bremen have not conceded a first-half goal in each of their last four Bundesliga matches.

Not much else to say about that half really.

Maximilian Arnold pops up off the deck and attempts a cheeky one from range, trying to catch out Jiri Pavlenka when everyone thought it was coming into the box.

The effort drifts a yard or two wide of the goal.

Former Toffee Davy Klaassen booked for a late lunge in on Maximilian Arnold.
