"Starting with the hosts, making real history last season as they successfully defended their Eredivisie crown, PSV have only continued on a stellar purple patch. Last seen over the weekend securing a routine 2-0 victory away at Heerenveen, the Lightbulbs will be looking to collect another heavyweight European scalp here. Last seen in Champions League action storming their way to a famous 4-1 romp away at Liverpool, Peter Bosz's side have rightfully received a string of plaudits from across the continent."
"PSV Team News Once again missing out away at Heerenveen, PSV are sweating over the fitness of Croatian record-breaker Ivan Perisic on Tuesday night. Likewise, not featuring since the end of September, Dutch youngster Ruben van Bommel remans on the sidelines with a long-term knee injury. While former Excelsior striker Couhaib Driouech might have bagged a famous Champions League brace away at Anfield a fortnight ago, the 23-year-old will likely settle for a spot on the bench."
PSV host Atletico Madrid at the Philips Stadion in a high-profile Champions League fixture. PSV enter the match on an outstanding run, defending the Eredivisie title and remaining unbeaten in their last 14 matches, including a 4-1 win at Liverpool and recent victories over Heerenveen and AZ Alkmaar. Fitness concerns affect Ivan Perisic and long-term knee absence keeps Ruben van Bommel sidelined. Couhaib Driouech may start on the bench despite his Anfield brace, while Sergino Dest will start at right-back. Atletico arrive after a recent setback, suffering a 3-1 defeat away to Barcelona under Diego Simeone.
