The marquee match of the weekend in the Eredivisie will see Feyenoord taking on the force that is PSV Eindhoven at Stadion Feijenoord. The hosts have done very little wrong this season but are already seven points behind the visitors, who are leading the way and putting together a truly remarkable run of results.
Feyenoord have two injury concerns coming into this crucial fixture, with Alireza Jahanbakhsh ruled out with a muscle injury, while Bart Nieuwkoop has been flagged as a doubt. Gimenez leads the top scorer standings in the league and will almost certainly lead the line here, while Calvin Stengs, Igor Paixao and Luka Ivanusec are expected to provide the support in midfield.
PSV are also missing a few important players, with Hirving Lozano (hip) and Armel Bella-Kotchap (knock) both ruled out for this match, though they could return before the end of the year. Mauro Junior and Armando Obispo are out with serious knee injuries for the longer term, while Yorbe Vertessen will be hoping to make the starting 11 after missing out in Europe in midweek.
Feyenoord returned from the international break with a solid performance, beating Excelsior 4-2 on the road, with Santiago Gimenez scoring a hat-trick, while Quinten Timber also got his name on the scoresheet.
We cannot speak about records this season without mentioning PSV, though, who have been nothing short of incredible since the start of the campaign.
However, they now face their toughest opponent in the Eredivisie to date and will have to find a way to break down the defending champions, who are unbeaten in the last three matches between these sides at this venue.
