PSV head coach Fred Rutten is forced to make a few changes as PSV entertain Heerenveen at the Philips Stadium, with a 20.45 kick-off. Jonathan Reis starts alongside Nordin Amrabat in attack. Rutten includes Timmy Simons in the heart of the PSV defence, while Erik Pieters, who pulled out of the Holland U-21 squad earlier this week, starts at left back. Jagos Vukovic has been called up to the match squad but starts on the bench, along with Stef Nijland.

There is a recall for Ibrahim Afellay who has recovered from an ankle injury. Winger Balázs Dzsudzsák misses out through suspension and Nordin Amrabat takes his place. A hamstring injury to Danny Koevermans means Jonathan Reis is handed his first start of the season for PSV. Maza and Simons form the centre-half partnership.
