PSV's line-up for the Eredivisie match against SC Heerenveen has been announced. Trainer Peter Bosz makes a number of changes compared to the victory over Feyenoord (1-2). Jerdy Schouten is not there due to illness. André Ramalho takes his place in the defense. In the absence of Jordan Teze, Patrick van Aanholt serves as left back and Joey Veerman is also fit enough to start. Yorbe Vertessen moves to the bench, leaving Malik Tillman up front. The match in the Philips Stadium starts at 6:45 PM and can be seen on ESPN2.

Walter BenÃtez is under the bar for the Eindhoven team. The defense consists of Sergiño Dest, Ramalho, Olivier Boscagli and Van Aanholt. Teze had to be substituted early against Feyenoord with a head injury and is not allowed to participate in the home game of the leader due to the main protocol of the Eindhoven team.

Veerman has been found fit in midfield. He pulled out injured against Feyenoord, but he recovered in time. Veerman is flanked by Ismael Saibari and Guus Til. At the front are Johan Bakayoko, Luuk de Jong and Tillman. The latter is preferred to Vertessen in the left winger position. Noa Lang and Hirving Lozano are not yet present, while Shurandy Sambo returns to the selection.

After an absolute dream week, in which, in addition to Feyenoord, Sevilla was also defeated (2-3), it is important for PSV to take the good feeling into the winter break. First of all, the match against Heerenveen. PSV is still flawless in the Eredivisie, but Bosz is careful not to underestimate. “Every match we play is a potential banana peel,” the coach was quoted on the club website.

“I regard every match as the most important match, we have been doing that all season. Last week we played against teams that we rate a little higher, so you are also in the spotlight a little more. If you win those matches, the players get compliments for it. Then it is important to keep both feet on the ground.â€

Heerenveen has been in excellent form in recent weeks. The Frisians won their last three Eredivisie matches and scored three goals in each of those matches. “There is a very clear difference, you don't have to make a fuss about it,” coach Kees van Wonderen compared Heerenveen with PSV. “We have to have a good day and they have to have a bad day if you want to come close. But I like to be surprised.”

Van Wonderen does not yet have access to Pawel Bochniewicz. The Polish international last played for Heerenveen about a month ago. “He is back on the field, but not yet training with the group. I hope he makes that step in the coming week, perhaps he can still be part of the selection against Volendam and Vitesse in the cup,” said Van Wonderen.

PSV line-up: Benitez; Dest, Ramalho, Boscagli, Van Aanholt; Ferryman, Saibari, Til; Bakayoko, De Jong, Tillman.

Line-up sc Heerenveen: Noppert; Braude, Van Beek, Van Ottelen, Köhlert; Brouwers, Haye, Olsson; Nunnely, Van Amersfoort, Sahraoui.
