PSV preview: Expecting an easy three points
After defending their title last season despite going behind Ajax by a lot of points, PSV Eindhoven entered this season looking to avoid the same scenario and to their credit, they started the season strongly with three wins in a row and 12 goals scored. Given that their next opponent is a newly-promoted Telstar, that streak should continue after this weekend.
Meanwhile, Alassane Plea, Wessel Kuhn, and Mauro Junior are out with injuries.

Telstar preview: Hoping to avoid a disaster
As a team that spent more than five decades outside of the Eredivisie, Telstar will be excited just to be in the top flight again. That being said, they are the main candidates for relegation and they did start the season with one draw and two losses. Their next match is in Eindhoven against the defending champions PSV, which is a game where Telstar can only hope for an honourable loss.
On the bright side, only Mo Hamdaoui is on Telstar's injury list heading into this match.

Player to watch: Ruben van Bommel
After a few seasons with AZ Alkmaar, Ruben van Bommel signed for PSV this summer and he's already making an impact at the club.
After the first three appearances for the club in which his father, Mark van Bommel, spent most of his career, van Bommel already has two goals to his name. The young winger is certainly one of PSV's greatest hopes, as van Bommel hopes to have a great season that might earn him his first international cap for Netherlands.
