Robin van Persie will captain the Netherlands tonight as they look for their first points in Group A of their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign in a home game against Kazakhstan.

Guus Hiddink has reverted to a 4-3-3 formation, and has included Ibrahim Afellay in the Oranje starting XI for the first time in almost two years.

Hiddink has lost his first two competitive games back in charge of the Netherlands - including a 2-1 loss to Czech Republic in Group A - but is unbeaten in his last 10 home games as manager of the national side, dating back to his previous spell at the helm.

Kazakhstan will also be looking for their first win of the campaign, having drawn 0-0 with Latvia in their opening match.

The Netherlands: Cillessen; Van der Wiel, De Vrij, Martins Indi, Blind; De Jong, Sneijder, Afellay; Robben, Lens, Van Persie

Kazkhstan: Mokin; Miroshnichenko, Dmitrenko, Vorotnikov, Abdulin, Suyumbayev; Bogdanov, Karpovich, Dzolchiyev, Khiznichenko; Shomko
