Willem II

Jaden Slory remains unavailable as he serves another match of his suspension, having started three of Willem II's last five games. Koster's side head into Friday's game bottom of the table with two points after five straight defeats, including a 1-6 home loss to Cambuur and a 0-7 defeat at PSV.

Maxime Delanghe is expected to continue in goal, while Thomas Didillon-Hödl is doubtful with a hamstring injury. Willem II are expected to switch from the back five used against PSV to a 4-4-1-1. Anass Zarrouk has started three of the last five matches and been substituted each time, in the 74th, 46th and 66th minutes. Eser Gürbüz and Jari Schuurman, each with one start in that spell, did not play against PSV.

PEC Zwolle

Younes Namli is back in contention for PEC Zwolle after a long spell on the sidelines. Out since early April, he returned against ADO Den Haag on 1 November and set up the goal in a 1-0 win. Van der Vegt's side sit 14th with 11 points going into Friday's trip to Willem II.

Sherel Floranus is out with a hamstring injury, with Damian van der Haar expected to start at left-back after the pair had shared the role recently. Thijs Oosting, a regular starter in recent weeks, played the final half-hour against ADO Den Haag, while Koen Kostons and Tom de Graaff, each with limited starts of late, did not feature that day.
