No mention of any new injuries from Jansen's press conference, along with LW Jesper Karlsson AZ also have 25yo AM Dani de Wit back, got 25 minutes against FC Emmen on Sunday after four months out with a foot injury.
Started 28 out of 29 games he's been available this season and scored 13. Would replace Sven Mijnans if he is in the starting XI
Tough decision for him, whether to start either or both of them, knowing he'll have to bring them off, or put them on for the last half an hour knowing it could be an hour if things go to extra time. In a way, starting them makes sense as far better to do that than bring them on and they break down, wasting another substitution.
He's gone 50/50, Karlsson starts with D de Wit on the bench.
I think this AZ team will be a lot better than last week but feel like if we can keep it 0-0 until the 70th minute again we should be able to turn them over in the final 20 when they kitchen sink it.
Concede before that and i think we will be on the ropes fast.

That's okay. We're a 2nd half team.
Bowen has had little success down the right, Benrahma and Paqueta again need to do better in good positions….
