However, Moscow trail second-placed Athletico Madrid by four points after a narrow 2-1 defeat against Juventus.
Lokomotiv Moscow vs Bayer Leverkusen
Yuri Semen will probably field a 3-4-3 formation with Guilherme in between the sticks and Ignatjev, Howedes and Corluka(C) as the back three whereas Rybus- Barinov and Kyrchowiak-Miranchuk will probably be paired in the midfield with the frontline featuring Kolomeytsev, Miranchuk and Eder.

Peter Bosz will probably field a 4-3-3 formation with Hradecky in between the sticks and Lars Bender, Jonathan Tah, Sven Bender and Wendell as the back four whereas Charles Aranguiz, Karim Belarabi and Julian Baumgartlinger will handle Leverkusen's midfield and Mousa Diaby, Kerem Demirbay and Kevin will feature at the frontline.
Bayer Leverkusen will miss out on Amiri as he remains suspended, Havertz and Sinkgraven have been sidelined with a thigh problem whereas Pohjanpali and Weiser have been sidelined with ankle injuries.
Leverkusen's game against Lokomotiv will be the club's 100th game in the competition having competed in every group stage in the competition. Kevin Volland is the club's top scorer with a total of six goals to his credit in the Champions League.
