PSV

PSV return to league action with several availability problems, particularly in attack. Ricardo Pepi is injured, while Alassane Pléa and Sam Lammers are also unavailable. Paul Wanner remains sidelined and is expected to miss several more weeks. Guus Til is therefore the leading candidate to operate as an emergency centre-forward.

Peter Bosz also has decisions to make in defence. Sergiño Dest will return late from international duty with the United States and is unlikely to start because of the short recovery period. Lutsharel Geertruida remains a doubt following his injury. Ivan Perišić is also in international action shortly before the match, meaning his workload will have to be assessed ahead of Friday.

sc Heerenveen

sc Heerenveen travel to Eindhoven with confidence after an impressive 4-0 away victory over Sparta Rotterdam. Robin Veldman has little reason to make major changes to the side that produced that result and is expected to maintain the same structure.

Marcus Linday is fully involved again and completed 90 minutes in a friendly during the international break. Mees Hilgers suffered a minor setback during his rehabilitation and is still being managed carefully. Dirk Proper is not yet ready to return to the starting lineup, while Mats Egbring appears more likely to be considered for a place in the squad than for a start.
