November’s Eredivisie schedule closes this weekend with the top-two teams in the league squaring off for a crucial three points.
Ricardo Pepi and PSV visit Paxten Aaronson and FC Utrecht on Sunday with both teams eager to close the month with a big win. Pepi is fresh off a hat trick in league play last week, his first for PSV since joining last year from Augsburg.
The U.S. men’s national team forward has earned some more opportunities of late, scoring 10 goals in all competitions for PSV so far. Peter Bosz could stick with the in-form Pepi in the starting lineup yet again, especially with the former FC Dallas homegrown scoring the winning goal midweek in Champions League play.
Aaronson has enjoyed a positive start to his loan spell at FC Utrecht, leading the team with four league goals. The 21-year-old has also added two assists in his 12 appearances, playing a vital role in FC Utrecht’s impressive opening three months of the season.
FC Utrecht hasn’t defeated PSV since 2019, but a victory on Sunday could move them two points back of the reigning champions.
In England, Antonee Robinson and Fulham seek a bounce-back win at London rivals Tottenham. Tyler Adams and Bournemouth face Wolves. Donovan Pines could start as Barnsley hosts Bristol Rovers in FA Cup play.
In Italy, Christian Pulisic and AC Milan host Empoli in Serie A play.
In Germany, Gio Reyna and Cole Campbell will both aim to see the field for Borussia Dortmund.
In France, Tanner Tessmann and Lyon face off Nice in Ligue 1 action. Mark McKenzie and Toulouse welcome Auxerre to town.
Elsewhere, Alex Zendejas and Frankie Amaya square off in Liga MX Playoff action. Brandon Vazquez and Monterrey visit Pumas. George Bello and LASK host Austria Vienna. Auston Trusty, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Celtic host Ross County. Rokas Pukstas and Hajduk Split face rivals Dinamo Zagreb in Croatian league play.
