PSV have only lost one domestic match in 2023 and their most common scoreline this campaign is 4-0. 

Former Newcastle striker Luuk de Jong leads the line with 17 goals – as many as Erling Haaland.

Despite failing to set the Premier League alight, he is closing in on Johan Cruyff in the all-time Eredivisie scorer rankings.

Just seven more goals would take him past the Dutch legend to sixth in the history books.

Former Chelsea academy graduate and Crystal Palace defender Patrick van Aanholt has been starring at left-back.

While young Southampton centre-back Armel Bella-Kotchap, who was relegated from the English top-flight last season, is looking to secure a regular place in the PSV starting line up.

Manager Peter Bosz took over in July on the back of a good year under Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The former Manchester United striker had delivered a KNVB Cup and Johan Cruyff Shield in his only season in charge.

However, Van Nistelrooy had a strained relationship with the players and the fans wanted a change.

Despite domestic dominance this season, PSV did suffer a humiliating 4-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League.

Mikel Arteta’s side ran riot, with Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Jesus getting on the scoresheet in the first half.

But since then, the Eredivisie outfit have risen to second in their group and will fancy themselves to qualify for the knock-out stages.

PSV host Arsenal on December 12 on TNT Sports.
