How the Netherlands could line up against Montenegro

The Netherlands head coach Louis van Gaal has a fully fit squad to choose from for their World Cup qualifier at home against Montenegro on Saturday.

Barcelona forward Memphis Depay was a slight doubt for their midweek draw with Norway, however the 27-year-old played the full 90 minutes and is expected to start again at the Philips Stadion.

Van Gaal decided to switch from his trusted 3-5-2 formation to a 4-3-3 system, which saw Depay joined in attack by Eredivisie wingers Cody Gakpo and Steven Berghuis, who are set to keep their places in the first XI.

After scoring in midweek, Davy Klaassen will likely remain in central midfield alongside Frenkie de Jong and Georginio Wijnaldum, though both Marten de Roon and Ryan Gravenberch will be hoping they can force their way into the starting lineup.

Liverpool defender and Dutch captain Virgil van Dijk, who missed out at Euro 2020 through injury, was back in the side on Wednesday and is set to start again alongside Stefan de Vrij.

The most-capped player among Van Gaal's 25-man squad is left-back Daley Blind with 83 appearances to his name. The 31-year-old is set to start once again at left-back, while Denzel Dumfries will be looking to replace right-back Jurrien Timber, who started the last match.

Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bijlow was handed his international debut against Norway and he is set to remain as Van Gaal's number one ahead of experienced stopper Tim Krul.

Netherlands possible starting lineup: Bijlow; Dumfries, De Vrij, Van Dijk, Blind; Klaassen, De Jong, Wijnaldum; Berghuis, Depay, Gakpo
