After last week’s cup final, there is plenty of football in the premier league again this weekend. Feyenoord cannot yet become champion at Excelsior, because PSV beat Sparta yesterday. View all the details and suspected lineups below.

Sunday 12.15 pm: FC Emmen – FC Twente

Particularities: Captain Jeroen Veldmate has become the father of twins and may therefore not be available.
Probable lineup: Van der Hart; Te Wierik, Araujo, Dirksen, Burnet; Veendorp, El Messaoudi, Diemers; Romeny, Zivkovic, Antonisse.
Absent: Kieftenbeld, Lieder, Hardeveld, Guclü, Mendes. Uncertain: Veldmate.

Particularities: Trainer Ron Jans does not expect Ramiz Zerrouki to suffer from his face mask during the match. The midfielder wears that after he broke his nose against Sparta. “With a mask like that you can also become champion of Italy,” says Jans, who was referring to Napoli striker Victor Osimhen who won the Italian title with his club last Thursday.
Line-up: Unnerstall; Brenet, Pröpper, Pleguezuelo, Smal; Zerrouki, Sadilek, Vlap; Cerny, Van Wolfswinkel, Misidjan
Absent: Salah Eddine (ankle injury).

Sunday 2.30 pm: Excelsior – Feyenoord

Particularities: Excelsior won two of Feyenoord’s last three home games. On May 7, 2017, exactly six years earlier, the Kralingers ruined the fellow townsman’s championship party by winning 3-0.
Probable lineup: VanGassel; Horemans, El Yaakoubi, Pierie, Nieuwpoort, Zagré; Koopmeiners, Boss, Goldmine; Lamprou, Azarkan
Absent: Donkor (knee), Fein (metabolic disease)

Particularities: Feyenoord coach Arne Slot has to do without the injured Gernot Trauner in the derby against Excelsior. That clears the way for Marcus Pedersen to start in the starting eleven again. Patrik Walemark is also missing, the Swede will not play again this season.
Probable lineup: Bijlow; Pedersen, Geertruida, Hancko, Hartman; Wieffer, Szymanski, Kokcu; Jahanbakhsh, Gimenez, Idrissi
Absent: Trauner (knee), Walemark (thigh)

Sunday 2.30 pm: Go Ahead Eagles – FC Groningen

Particularities: Go Ahead Eagles did not win any of its last six home matches with FC Groningen in the premier league (W0-G2-V4), even losing all of the last three. The series started after a 3-0 win on October 23, 1993.
Probable lineup: Go Ahead Eagles: De Lange; Deijl, Amofa, Idzes, Kuipers; Llansana, Adekanye, Rommens, Willumsson; Lidberg, Edwardsen
Absent: Nauber (hip), Oppegard (knee), Linthorst (injury), Markelo (injury), Fontán (suspension)

Particularities: Jetro Willems was injured against NEC a week and a half ago. He may therefore no longer play for FC Groningen.
Probable lineup: Leeuwenburgh; Dankerlui, Balker, Bech Sorensen, Musampa; Suslov, Hove, Valente; Määttä, Pepi, Antman
Absent: Duarte (suspended), Abraham, Blokzijl, Van Gelderen, Verrips, Willems

Sunday 4.45 pm: Fortuna Sittard – Vitesse

Particularities: Burak Yilmaz is not yet present on Sunday afternoon, when Fortuna Sittard meets Vitesse at home. The striker has returned to the training field, but he is still too bothered by physical complaints.
Probable lineup: Pandur; Pinto, Guth, Siovas, Cox; Bistrovic, Erdogan, Noslin, Cordoba; Gladon, Embola
Absent: Yilmaz

Particularities: Coach Phillip Cocu, except Davy Pröpper, has everyone on board for the confrontation with Fortuna Sittard. In addition to fitness, freshness is important for Vitesse’s May month. The Arnhem club must enforce enforcement. Cocu has emphasized the finish towards the clash in Limburg. The efficiency in the attack must increase.
Probable lineup: sharpen; Flamingo, Isimat-Mirin, Arcus, Wittek; Meulensteen, Van Ginkel, Bero; Manhoef, Sankoh, Kozlowski
Absent: Pröpper (knee)
