The hosts extended their record-unbeaten run across competitions to 45 games last week with a 1-1 draw at Borussia Dortmund. Niclas Fullkrug broke through to give Dortmund the lead in the 81st minute.

While it seemed that BvB would end Leverkusen's unbeaten run, in what has become a familiar sight, Leverkusen left it late and equalised in the seventh minute of stoppage time via Josip Stanisic.

Stuttgart, meanwhile, saw their unbeaten streak in the league ended after 11 games, as they fell to a shock 2-1 loss at Werder Bremen last week. After Marvin Ducksch bagged a brace, Deniz Undav scored a consolation in the 71st minute.

They remain third in the league table, three points behind Bayern Munich.
