Veerman and Vertessen start against Sparta Rotterdam

PSV have made a trip to Rotterdam to face Sparta in round 24 of the Eredivisie campaign. Head coach Roger Schmidt has made two changes to his side.

Two changes

Mario Götze wears the captain’s armband. PSV recorded a 2-1 win in this season’s reverse encounter in the Philips Stadion, thanks to goals from Ibrahim Sangare and Ryan Thomas. Jeroen  Manschot will be the man in the middle. Kick-off is at 14.30.

PSV starting line-up
Drommel; Mauro JR, Teze, Boscagli, Max; Veerman, Sangaré; Vertessen, Madueke; Götze (C), Zahavi.

Substitutes
