How the Netherlands could line up against Gibraltar

Netherlands manager Frank de Boer is expected to shuffle the pack considerably for his side's trip to Gibraltar in their third match of World Cup Qualifying on Tuesday evening.

Fresh from a comfortable 2-0 win over Latvia, the Netherlands have lost goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen to injury, but his replacement Marco Bizot could be trusted this week as he eyes just his second appearance for the Oranje.

Denzel Dumfries and Owen Wijndal could be granted a well-earned rest this week, so Premier League duo Patrick Van Aanholt and Kenny Tete may find themselves bombing down the wings at the Victoria Stadium.

Daley Blind and Matthijs de Ligt have both enjoyed 180 minutes of action so far, but Joel Veltman is waiting in the wings and is in contention to replace the former in the heart of defence here.

Ajax protege Ryan Gravenberch could enjoy some much-needed experience on the international stage this week and will hope to start, while the inclusion of Atalanta's Marten de Roon would give Frenkie de Jong and Georginio Wijnaldum the chance to rest and recuperate.

Further up the field, Donny van de Beek may find himself in the first XI once again - a rare sight this season - while Steven Berghuis will not want to be dropped after his wonder strike against Latvia, but Memphis Depay could make way for Steven Bergwijn.

Luuk de Jong repaid De Boer's faith in him with his second goal in two matches last time out, but Donyell Malen will have a glint in his eyes this week and could be trusted to lead the line against the 195th-ranked nation.

Netherlands possible starting lineup: Bizot; Tete, De Ligt, Veltman, Van Aanholt; Gravenberch, De Roon; Berghuis, Van de Beek, Bergwijn; Malen
