PSV Eindhoven are set to host Emmen at the Philips Stadion on Saturday in their next Eredivisie fixture.
PSV Eindhoven come into this game on the back of a 3-1 victory over Groningen last Sunday at the Hitachi Capital Mobility Stadion. A brace from young Dutch winger Cody Gakpo and a goal from Netherlands international Donyell Malen ensured a winning start to PSV Eindhoven's league campaign.
Emmen, on the other hand, lost 5-3 to VVV-Venlo in a pulsating encounter at the De Oude Meerdijk. A hat-trick from Greek striker Giorgos Giakoumakis, an own goal from Caner Cavlan and a Jafar Arias strike ensured victory for Hans de Koning's side.
Robbert De Vos, Marko Kolar and Nikolai Laursen were the goalscorers for Emmen.
