ADO Den Haag

ADO Den Haag go into Saturday's game against Sparta Rotterdam with a caretaker in charge: the club parted ways with Robin Peter this week, and assistant coach Levi Schwiebbe takes charge of the first team for now. Luka Reischl and Álex Pozo both remain out through injury.

Nigel Thomas is expected to keep his place on the right after making his first start of the run against PEC Zwolle. Jalen Hawkins is likely to continue on the left too, having been substituted in each of his three starts, twice before the hour mark.

Sparta Rotterdam

Jens Toornstra is expected to remain in Sparta Rotterdam's side after being left out for the trip to Fortuna Sittard, when manager Rogier Meijer rested him and Bruno Martins Indi to manage their workload. Toornstra has been substituted in each of his last four starts, never going beyond the 74th minute. Max de Ligt remains sidelined through injury.

Shunsuke Mito is available again after returning against FC Groningen. Robin van Cruijsen is expected to start on the right of midfield, with Cedric Hatenboer likely to join Toornstra in the centre.
