    Ajax occupy top spot on 54 points with PSV and Feyenoord on 53, followed by surprise package Vitesse Arnhem on 51 points in 4th place. Vitesse have never won the Eredivise before and look set to challenge the 3 famous Dutch giants until the end of the season for the title.

    Important matches in April include PSV v Ajax in Eindhoven and Feyenoord against Vitesse at De Kuip Stadium in Rotterdam.

    NAC Breda in 12th and VVV-Venlo in 17th are separated by only 3 points whereas Willem II appear to be cut adrfit in last place, 9 points clear of safety.

    Vitesse striker Wilfried Bony leads the scoring charts with 23 goals, closely pursued by Heerenveen's Alfred Finnbogason who has netted on 19 occasions.

    There are no Dutch representatives remaining in European competition following Ajax's penalty shootout defeat to Steau Bucharest in the Europa League. PSV and Twente had previously been knocked out at the group stage of the same competition.
