Deivid: Suspended
Managerless PSV Eindhoven travel to Turkey aiming to move above Fenerbahce in Group G with victory in Istanbul.
The Dutch champions suffered their first league defeat of the season against Heerenveen last weekend and caretaker boss Jan Wouters will be determined to see his side bounce back at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium.
PSV are without Eric Addo as he begins his four-game suspension for spitting at a Fenerbahce player in the first meeting between the sides.
Wouters is missing Ibrahim Afellay, Manuel da Costa, John de Jong and Jason Culina through injury.
Slobodan Rajkovic has recovered from injury and he is set to return to the starting line-up for PSV.
Fenerbahce are missing key duo Deivid and Lugano through suspension with Deivid having been sent off in Eindhoven two weeks ago.
Mateja Kezman misses out against his old club as he is struggling with a knee injury, but playmaker Alex is likely to start after recovering from injury.
