The Lightbulbs were not one to wilt under pressure in their recent match against Lens at home in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage campaign, as a Luuk de Jong goal in the opening twelve minutes not only witnessed them pick up their first win in Group B but also put them in the rat race for a Champions League knockout berth.

In the Eredivisie, the Lightbulbs have yet to drop points, with a 6-0 thrashing of Heracles Almelo away from them, which, by the way, is their biggest win of the season so far. With a ten-match unbeaten run across all competitions, eight wins and two draws, it has been nothing but utter dominance from Peter Bzosch's men, making their win in this one not one to be doubted.

Having picked up 33 points from 11 matches played, PSV EINDHOVEN sit first in the Eredivisie standings and have maintained a seven-point advantage over second-placed AZ Alkmaar and third-placed Feyenoord.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Benitez; Teze, Ramalho, Boscagli, Dest; Schouten, Veerman; Bakayoko, Til, Lozano; De Jong

PEC Zwolle

Form: WDWLL

After a deplorable display against Amsterdamsche FC in the first round of the KNVB Cup, which they lost 1-0 away from home, Johnny Jansen and co. knew that an immediate subsequent response was needed. They delivered that response as they sent Fortuna Sittard packing with a 2-0 triumph at home.

With that win, PEC Zwolle have extended their unbeaten run in the Eredivisie to three matches, picking up two wins and a draw. This is a massive improvement given that they were on a three-match losing run against AZ Alkmaar (3-0), Heracles Almelo (2-1), and Feyenoord (2-0).

Having collected 14 points from 11 matches played so far, PEC Zwolle sits eighth in the Eredivisie standings on points, seventh-placed Excelsior and twelve points behind fourth-placed Twente.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3
