The Dutch national team boasts a strong contingent of Premier League players, and they are showing their quality in this eveningâs World Cup qualifier against Finland.
Eight of the 11 starters for Ronald Koemanâs side play their club football in Englandâs top flight, with Liverpool, Arsenal, Brighton, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Bournemouth all represented.
Only Denzel Dumfries, Frenkie de Jong and Memphis Depay play outside the Premier League.
The Netherlands started brightly against Finland, with Villa's Donyell Malen opening the scoring inside the first 10 minutes, before Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk doubled their advantage soon after.
Former Manchester United man Memphis made it 3-0 from the spot before half-time, extending his national team goal record to 54.
Thatâs not all, though, as there is also plenty of Premier League talent on the Dutch bench.
Jan Paul van Hecke, Xavi Simons, Jeremie Frimpong and Tijjani Reijnders can all be called upon by Koeman if needed.
