Fortuna Sittard – RKC Waalwijk (Saturday 6.45 pm)

Particularities: Fortuna Sittard midfielder Deroy Duarte will not be there tonight anyway, when Fortuna Sittard takes on RKC. Defender Dvimitrios Siovas will probably also miss the Waalwijk formation. It looks like the Limburgers will play in the team that took nine points from the last three games.
Absent: Siovas, Duarte
Setup: pandur; Pinto, Navarro, Guth, Cox; Ferati, Ozyakup, Erdogan; Embalo, Yilmaz, Cordoba.

Particularities: With a victory over Fortuna, RKC can take 16 points from ten rounds. This century, RKC took at least 16 points in this stage of an Eredivisie season once (21 in 2005/2006).
Absent: no one
Setup: Vaessen, Lelieveld, Gaari, Adewoye, Van den Buijs, Lutonda; Bel Hassani, Anita, Clement; Kramer, Lobete

Go Ahead Eagles – SC Heerenveen (Saturday 8 p.m.)

Particularities: Go Ahead Eagles last won a long time ago in the Adelaarshorst of SC Heerenveen: 30 years ago. On February 8, 1992 it was 3-1, then in the first division. Marco Heering (2 times) and Jeroen Boere (1) scored for the Deventer at the time.
Absent: Mulder, Mattiello, Linthorst
Setup: The long; Deijl, Amofa, Idzes, Kuipers; Tekie, Rommens, Willumsson, Edvardsen; Adekanye, Lidberg

Particularities: SC Heerenveen, which is up against the old club of trainer Kees van Wonderen, is one of the least scoring teams in the Eredivisie. The Frisians only found the net eight times. Only FC Emmen is less productive.
Absent: Joost van Aachen
Setup: noppert; Van Ewijk, Van Beek, Bochniewicz, Van Ottele, Köhlert; Haye, Tahiri, Olsson; Sarr, Van Hooijdonk

SC Cambuur – Vitesse (Saturday 9 p.m.)

Particularities: With Alex Bangura and Mees Hoedemakers, two important players are returning from a suspension and so trainer Henk de Jong has something to choose from. Striker Uldrikis is also available again after weeks of absence.
Absent: Maxim Gullit, Tom Boere. Doubt: Robin Maulun
Setup: Virginia; Van Wermeskerken, Bergsma, Tol, Van Bangura; Jacobs, Hoedemakers, Van Kaam; Van der Water, Uldrikis, Balk

Particularities: Phillip Cocu hopes that the Polish striker Bartosz Bialek can start against Cambuur. The mercenary of VfL Wolfsburg has hardly been able to train this week due to a foot injury. He has to act as a target man in Leeuwarden. Cocu must lead Vitesse away from the lower regions. After nine rounds of play, the counter for the Arnhem club is only at five points. “It is clear that the need is great,” says Cocu.
Absent: Mitchell Dijks (knee)
Setup: sharpen; Arcus, Meulensteen, Cornelisse, Wittek; Flamingo, Tronstad; Fredriksen, Vidovic, Bero; Bialek

Sparta Rotterdam – NEC (Sunday 12.15 pm)

Particularities: Without the injured Younes Namli, Sparta is on the hunt for a special statistic. Because, with the current 14 points, Sparta can reach at least 17 points for the first time since the 1991/1992 season (18) after the first 10 rounds of an Eredivisie season.
Absent: Namli (injury), Sambo (suspension), Coremans (shoulder)
Setup: olive; Abels, Friends, Auassar, Pinto; Verschueren, De Guzman, Kitolano; Mijnans, Lauritsen, Van Crooij

Particularities: NEC has drawn in the last seven games and can become the second club ever with eight draws in a row in the Eredivisie, after Sparta in 1992. Last season Sparta-NEC finished in 1-1, so that the record will be equaled is likely.
Absent: Bruijn, Kramer, De Wolf
Setup: Cillessen; Van Rooij, Marquez, Verdonk, El Karouani; Schone, Proper, Tananne; Tavsan, Dimata, Mattsson

PSV – FC Utrecht (Sunday 14.30)

Particularities: PSV is back in the rhythm of the win after the defeat against Cambuur and there seems to be little reason to change last week’s base. Only Guus Til didn’t really shine against FC Zurich, but was praised by trainer Ruud van Nistelrooij for his work for the team and return. He delivered two assists and missed a great opportunity himself.
Absent: Boscagli (knee), Mauro Júnior (groin), De Jong (calf), Van Ginkel (hamstring), Vertessen (muscle), Saibari (muscle), Peersman (back). Doubt: Madueke (ankle), Branthwaite (muscle)
Setup: Benitez; Mwene, Ramalho, Obispo, Max; Sangare, Veerman, Gutierrez; Simons, Til, Gakpo

Particularities: Trainer Henk Fraser has no idea yet which players he will send onto the field on behalf of FC Utrecht during the away game against PSV on Sunday afternoon. Amin Younes, among others, is a doubt in his team. Captain Nick Viergever is not yet completely armpit fresh. Depending on today’s training, the coach decides who will kick off in Eindhoven.
Absent: Hendriks, St. Jago, Ramselaar (injured). Doubt: Younes, Viergever
Setup: Barkas; Klaiber, Van der Maarel, Sagnan, Warmerdam; Toornstra, Bozdogan, From the Region; Maeda, Dost, Younes

FC Twente – FC Groningen (Sunday 14.30)

Particularities: FC Twente sent midfielder Michal Sadilek home for a week. The Czech international has been struggling with tinnitus for a while and is experiencing a lot of inconvenience from it. The cause of the problem has not yet been found.
Absent: Cerny (suspended), Sadilek (injured), Hilgers (question mark)
Setup: Unnerstall, Brenet, Hilgers, Propper, Narrow; Zerrouki, Kjolo, Vlap; Rock, Van Wolfswinkel, Misidjan

Particularities: FC Groningen has not won in Enschede for five years. The last victory, on May 14, 2017, was a spectacular one: 5-3. Bryan Linssen, Oussama Idrissi and Alexander Sørloth were then among the goalscorers in Enschede.
Absent: Verrips, Musampa, Van Gelderen (all injured), Balker (suspended)
Setup: Leeuwenburgh; Dankerlui, Te Wierik, Kasanwirjo, Määttä; Suslov, Pelupessy, Duarte, Orat mangoen; Pepi, Kruger

AZ – Feyenoord (Sunday 4.45 pm)

Particularities: AZ coach Pascal Jansen tried on Thursday against Apollon Limassol (1-0 defeat) Riechedly Bazoer for the first time in the number ten position, but that did not work out very well. Due to the new injury of Zinho Vanheusden, Maxim Dekker seems assured of a basic place until the winter break.
Absent: Bruno Martins Indi, Vangelis Pavlidis, Hakon Evjen, Zinho Vanheusden
Setup: concealed; Hatzidiakos, Beukema, Dekker, Kerkez; Reijnders, D. de Wit, Clasie; Sugawara, Odgaard, Karlsson

Particularities: Quinten Timber was hit against FC Midtjylland and was replaced later in the game. Yet Arne Slot expects him on the field against AZ. ,,I didn’t change Quinten because of an injury, he was able to continue”, said Slot.
Absent: Oussama Idrissi (hamstring injury)
Setup: Bijlow; Pedersen, Trauner, Rasmussen, Hancko; Geertruida, Kokcu , Timber; Dilrosun, Gimenez, Szymanskic

Ajax – Excelsior Rotterdam (Sunday 8 p.m.)

Particularities: Devyne Rensch is a doubt for the home game with Excelsior. The right back dropped out with groin complaints before the CL match against Napoli. Trainer Alfred Schreuder spoke of a minor injury.
Absent: Ihattaren (trains separately), Kaplan (knee), Rensch (groin, doubt)
Setup: feather; Sanchez, Timber, Blind, Bassey; Alvarez, Taylor; Berghuis, Bergwijn, Tadic; Kudus

Particularities: Yassin Ayoub has been injured after last week’s 1-1 draw against NEC. It is not clear how long the midfielder will be out of circulation. Sven Nieuwpoort was successfully operated on his knee on Friday and will quickly focus on his rehabilitation.
Suspensions and injuries: Sven Nieuwpoort (knee), Yassin Ayoub
Setup: VanGassel; Horemans, El Yaakoubi, Seymor, Tjoe-A-On; Boss, Van Duinen, Goldmine; Azarkan, Kharchouch, Droouech
