Meet the Unconventional Squad
PSV Eindhoven has been making waves this season with an unbeaten record in all of their league games. What's even more surprising is that their squad is composed of Premier League outcasts from Chelsea, Newcastle, and Southampton.
Impressive Domestic Record
PSV Eindhoven currently holds the best domestic record among all the top-tier European teams. They have only lost one match in the 2023 season and their most common scoreline is an impressive 4-0.
Luuk de Jong: A Striker to Watch
Leading the line for PSV Eindhoven is former Newcastle striker Luuk de Jong, who has already scored 17 goals this season - the same number as Erling Haaland. Despite not making a huge impact in the Premier League, de Jong is rapidly climbing the all-time Eredivisie scorer rankings and is closing in on Johan Cruyff's record.
Patrick van Aanholt: From Chelsea to PSV
Another familiar face in the PSV squad is former Chelsea academy graduate and Crystal Palace defender Patrick van Aanholt. He has been showcasing his skills as a left-back and has been a key player for the Dutch leaders this season.

Armel Bella-Kotchap: A Shot at Redemption
Youthful Southampton centre-back Armel Bella-Kotchap, who was relegated from the English top-flight last season, is determined to secure a regular place in the PSV starting lineup. He has been making a strong case for himself and has been a standout performer.
Manager Peter Bosz's Impact
Manager Peter Bosz took charge of PSV Eindhoven in July after a successful year under Ruud van Nistelrooy. While Van Nistelrooy had delivered trophies, his strained relationship with the players led to the need for change. Bosz has revitalized the team and has them firing on all cylinders.
Champions League Setback
Despite their domestic dominance, PSV Eindhoven suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League. However, they have bounced back since then and currently sit in second place in their group, with hopes of qualifying for the knock-out stages.
Next Challenge: Arsenal Rematch
PSV Eindhoven will face Arsenal again on December 12, and they'll be looking to redeem themselves. The game will be broadcasted on TNT Sports.
