We are LIVE from Steffen's press conference ahead of #SVWFCU. We start with the bad news that Andrik Markgraf and Robert Skov will be missing, but that there will be 3.800 there.

Asked about Oliver Burke, he says that missed out last week because he was sick, but was also lacking practice. He didn't come on later, just because of the way things were going. He's trained well, and is a candidate for the starting XI

Derrick Köhn, he says, has played well, and had to make up for missing a lot of pre-season. He is full of praise for the full-back, - it's no secret, he says - how he's developed, physically as well as on the pitch.

It's tough, he says, to talk about a style when asked about Bremen. But they have a clear plan, are a good team, and haven't changed much. It'll be an exciting game for us, he says, but he's clearly looking forwards to it.

Coming back to Burke and Köhn, he says that every game is important, whether you're going back to an old club or not. But, he concedes, of course to do so is always special. Derrick and Oli will enjoy it, that's for sure.

Asked about the amount of foulds Union have conceded, he casts a little scepticism on the stats, before saying that his team things to work on, and if one of them is maybe conceding one or two less, then so be it. Christian Arbeit smiles at that.

Danilho Doekhi is a positive player, a positive guy, and Baumgart says he likes having him around. Later on he says that football for him isn't just getting from A to B, but tackling, all of that stuff, is also a part of it.

Rani is quoted as saying when the training is good, we win... Steffen is asked how training was, then? It was good, he says simply. But then there's a final rejoinder. Bremen probably think they're training was good too.

And with that, it's all done, Unioner. And we will see you in Bremen on Friday night. Eisern!
