A Champions League dead-rubber will take place at the Philips Stadion on Tuesday evening, as PSV Eindhoven and Arsenal close out successful Group B campaigns.
Both sides have already entered the pot for the last-16 draw, the hosts as runners-up and Arsenal as group winners, but the Gunners in particular have an incentive to right some recent wrongs in the Netherlands.
Sergio Ramos and Youssef En-Nesyri sent Sevilla 2-0 up to no avail, as Ismael Saibari's strike, a Nemanja Gudelj own goal and injury-time header from Ricardo Pepi confirmed PSV's second-placed finish at the expense of Sevilla's progression hopes, leading to unbridled joy on the touchline for Bosz and co.
PSV's eight-point haul could still be matched by Lens, but the Rood-witten's knockout berth is safe owing to their superior head-to-head record against the French outfit, and perfection remains the name of the game for Bosz's men as far as their Eredivisie exploits are concerned.
Indeed, PSV made it 15 wins from 15 Dutch top-flight matches with a routine 2-0 home beating of Heerenveen on Thursday, where goals in either half from Guus Til and Pepi saw Bosz's indomitable charges maintain a 10-point advantage over Feyenoord at the summit of the standings.
