After a disappointing 2-2 draw with Fortuna Sittard in their first Eredivisie home assignment, PSV returned to the Philips Stadion and steamrolled Groningen 5-1 on Sunday, delivering their strongest statement of intent yet this season.
Peter Bosz's side came from behind to secure the win, moving up to third in the table, level on points with Go Ahead Eagles and just two behind leaders AZ Alkmaar, the only team with a perfect record so far.
With the two teams above them set to face each other on Saturday, De Rood-witten could end the weekend at the top of the table, but only if they claim maximum points from their trip to Utrecht, where the champions have won both of their last two visits and are unbeaten in six.
PSV's dominance against this weekend's opponents extends beyond away games, as they also boast a 12-match unbeaten run against Utrecht, including a league double last season.
With a mouth-watering De Topper clash on the horizon after Sunday's fixture, PSV will be keen to maintain their momentum before heading to Amsterdam.
Utrecht's upcoming clash with PSV marks their fourth straight match against a top-10 side from last season as they start the 2026-27 campaign. While collecting just one point from nine is a disappointing return, it is not all doom and gloom yet.
Anthony Correia was seconds from his first win as Utrecht manager away at Sparta Rotterdam last Saturday, only for Nick Verschuren to score in the sixth minute of stoppage time and snatch a 3-3 draw at Het Kasteel.
De Domstedelingen have not gone winless in their first three league games since 2023-24, and their recent record against PSV suggests that streak may be extended to four.
Only bottom club Cambuur have conceded more goals than Utrecht so far, and the hosts will need to shore up defensively to have any chance of upsetting the league's top scorers.
