PSV Eindhoven host Heerenveen at Phillips Station on Saturday in the 25th round of games in the Eredivisie.
PSV suffered a 7-1 humiliation at home to Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 first leg in midweek, marking their third consecutive defeat after losing to Go Ahead Eagles in the league and domestic cup last week. The hosts have struggled in recent weeks, winning one of their last seven games across competitions to slip to second in the Eredivisie, eight points behind Ajax.
Meanwhile, Heerenveen's impressive 3-1 win over AZ Alkmaar on Monday ended a five-game winless run and moved up to eighth in the league table. The visitors, who are seven points clear of the relegation zone, have eight wins in 24 games.
