Utrecht will host PSV Eindhoven at the Stadion Galgenwaard on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Eredivisie campaign.
The home side have had an overall disappointing campaign but have begun picking up points in recent weeks and are now pushing for the top half of the pile. They played out a goalless draw against struggling Vitesse last time out and had presentable opportunities to score in either half but failed to convert.
Utrecht sit 13th in the table with 18 points picked so far and will be looking to add to that tally come Sunday.
PSV Eindhoven, meanwhile, are enjoying an outstanding campaign and are going full steam ahead in pursuit of their first Eredivisie title since the 2017-18 campaign. They picked up a dominant 3-1 win over Excelsior in their last league outing before beating Twente by the same scoreline in the KNVB Beker days later.
The visitors sit atop the Eredivisie standings with 51 points from an obtainable 51. They will be looking to continue their brilliant form when they play this weekend and strengthen their grip at the top.
