- Lucas Pérez, Wessel Kuhn, and Ricardo Pepi are the only players missing for PSV heading into this latest Eredivisie matchday.
- Head coach Peter Bosz shouldn't make too many changes from his last starting lineup, though forwards Johan Bakayoko and Couhaib Driouech, as well as central midfielder Ismael Saibari, are pushing to be included from the outset.
- Luuk de Jong should be there from the start. He is the club's top scorer with 12 goals, which is tied for the second-highest in the competition; four of those have been the crucial first goal of the match.
Ajax- Anton Gaaei is suspended for Ajax after receiving a straight red card in their 2-2 draw with AZ before the international break. Lucas Rosa should replace him, with that potentially being the only change from Francesco Farioli's last starting lineup, although Davy Klaassen, Oliver Edvardsen, and Steven Berghuis are pushing for inclusion.
- Remko Pasveer, Owen Wijndal, Amourrichio van Axel Dongen, Christian Rasmussen, Wout Weghorst, and Youri Regeer remain sidelined for the Amsterdammers.
- Along with his efforts for Go Ahead Eagles, where he scored eight times, Edvardsen has scored 11 times in this season's Eredivisie, although Kenneth Taylor is Ajax's leading scorer.
