There has been similar rotation at centre-back, where Matisse Didden has started three of the last five games to Guus Offerhaus's one. Didden is expected to retain his place against PEC Zwolle.

Artem Stepanov remains unavailable with an ankle injury, while Marius Broholm is doubtful due to illness.

PEC Zwolle

PEC Zwolle travel to FC Utrecht under interim management, with assistants Dennis van der Ree and Maikel van der Werff taking charge following Henry van der Vegt's dismissal earlier this month. Sherel Floranus, forced off with a hamstring injury in the most recent match, is nevertheless expected to continue at left-back, making his fitness the main point to watch before kick-off.

Gilles van der Wal is set to keep his attacking role after his first start in five matches, with Ibrahim Cissoko expected to miss out on a starting place again after appearing only as a substitute last time. Sydney van Hooijdonk is expected to continue up front, while Ryan Thomas is favoured over Nick Fichtinger in midfield.
