- Nicolás Tagliafico is ruled out with a knee injury which means a first league start for Daley Sinkgraven or new signing Lisandro Magallán making his debut.
- Hakim Ziyech and Dusan Tadic, both expected to start on the flanks, have each scored 10 league goals this season.
- Morten Thorsby is unavailable for the visitors through injury, while midfielders Ben Rienstra and Yuki Kobayashi are both suspended.
Its very odd that a shot from an attacker that bounces of a defenders leg and into the net, counts as a goal for the striker, but when a defender heads a ball towards goal and it bounces of the back of the head of a defender, it counts as an own goal... The Light should have been awarded a goal.
