Team news
PSV
Jurgen Locadia is the only injury concern for the hosts. Bart Ramselaar could however sit on the bench despite his superb performance last weekend when he scored his first goal for the club. Siem de Jong is also expected to make his debut for the Dutch outfit in this clash.
Atletico Madrid
Simeone does not have any injury concern ahead of this clash. New signing Nico Gaitan and Kevin Gameiro could make their debuts for Los Colchoneros but will most likely start from the bench.
Match preview
The hosts come into this match enjoying a six-match unbeaten run. On the other hand, their opponents picked up their first win of the new season last Saturday when they thumped Celta Vigo 4-0.
PSV coach Philip Cocu is hoping to pull a surprise on their visitors, who eliminated them from the competition at the last round of 16 on post-match penalties after registering draws in both legs. The hosts will be banking on their home ground advantage to secure a win here, something that they failed to do last season. But with the availability of a full squad, and the possible return of Andres Guardado and Santiago Arias to the team, the Dutch side look set for revenge.
