Feyenoord lead on 23 points from nine games without a loss and have a +21 goal difference. AZ, PSV and Ajax sit within five points. Next up is PSV vs Feyenoord.
Seven wins and two draws give Feyenoord a three-point cushion over AZ. They are not winning quietly either: a 4-3 at Telstar shows the defence can wobble. A trip to PSV will show if they are real champions.
A 5-2 win at Groningen keeps Ajax unbeaten bar one defeat, on 18 points and a +15 goal difference. Four points off the top, they cannot be written off.
