Domestic cups often feel like an afterthought, but not in Germany, where Leverkusen and Cologne put on an electric show in the DFB-Pokal quarterfinals.

Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso was delighted with the reaction his side showed after they won a dramatic DFB-Pokal quarter-final against second-tier Cologne.

After Victor Boniface was preferred against Hoffenheim at the weekend, Patrik Schick is expected to start up top this time around over the Nigerian. Andrich should come into the XI following his suspension at the weekend, whilst Frimpong could be rested in favour of Mukiele.
