PSV Eindhoven are set to play host to Twente at the Philips Stadion on Saturday for their latest Eredivisie fixture.

PSV Eindhoven come into this game on the back of a 3-1 loss to Dick Advocaat's Feyenoord last Sunday at De Kuip. First-half goals from midfielder Mark Diemers, Netherlands international Steven Berghuis and winger Bryan Linssen sealed the deal for Feyenoord. Young Ivory Coast international Ibrahim Sangare scored the consolation goal for PSV Eindhoven.

Twente, on the other hand, drew 0-0 against Johnny Jansen's Heerenveen last Sunday at De Grolsch Veste. Heerenveen only registered one shot on target, but managed to stop Twente from finding the target.

PSV Eindhoven are 2nd in the Eredivisie table, seven points behind Ajax. Roger Schmidt's side have impressed this season, with German left-back Philipp Max and the likes of Donyell Malen in good form.

Twente, on the other hand, are 7th in the league table, and are winless in their last five league games. Ron Jans' side will have to find form soon, otherwise they could get dragged down the table.

PSV Eindhoven will be keen to get back to winning ways, and should be able to do so here.
