Fresh off a great Premier League win against Liverpool, Leicester City travel to the Czech Republic to face Slavia Prague in their UEFA Europa League round of 32 tie.
Brendan Rodgers' team finished top of Group G, pipping Braga due to a superior head-to-head record.
This is a critical period in Leicester's season, when they again have to juggle their European commitments with having to keep up their form in the Premier League.
The Foxes are currently third in the Premier League, and although they aren't in the title race, they will look for a finish within the top four.
They were in a similar position in the Premier League last season as well. However, they let the advantage slip because of some truly atrocious form at the back-end of the season.
That win against Liverpool, Rodgers' first since leaving the Reds in 2015, would have been huge for their confidence.
Mohamed Salah put the Reds ahead in that game. However, James Maddison, Jamie Vardy and Harvey Barnes all scored within seven minutes of each other to give the Foxes a 3-1 win.
Slavia, on the other hand, are comfortable at the top of the Czech league at the moment. They are 10 points above city rivals Sparta Prague, and look on course to win their domestic league again.
They finished second in Europa League Group C behind Bayer Leverkusen. The group also consisted of French side Nice and Israeli club Hapoel Beer-Sheva.
