Burton Albion's first away game of the Championship season takes them to recently-relegated Hull City - can they get off the mark?
The Brewers arrive at the KCOM Stadium on the back of Wednesday's 3-2 Carabao Cup triumph at Oldham Athletic, having been beaten 1-0 at home to Cardiff City on the opening day of the league campaign last Saturday.
They will know the challenge ahead of them if they are to pick up a point or three this afternoon.
While the Tigers - with new manager Leonid Slutsky at the helm - have lost several key players over the summer, they began well in coming from behind to draw with pre-season promotion favourites Aston Villa last weekend - and they will be keen to kick on well in front of their home fans.
We'll have all the build-up and team news from the KCOM, before bringing you blow-by-blow live text commentary as Burton look to get themselves on the board in the Championship for 2017/18.

That's all from us here at the KCOM Stadium.
The Brewers lose out 4-1 to Hull City - and that’s your lot from SportMail’s live-blog of today’s match.
It’s certainly one to forget for the Brewers after Abel Hernandez’s hat-trick sent them packing
See you at the Riverside Stadium on Tuesday...
And Clough lets us know what he thinks on Hernandez's opener and whether he was offside or not
I thought they were more game changers than the sending off. He’s (Hernandez) offside, not miles, but he’s offside.
Clough also revealed why Lloyd Dyer didn't start the match
He had a slight thigh problem - he didn’t train all week.
Nigel Clough confirms that Lucas Akins will start against Middlesbrough on Tuesday night
He’s the fittest lad we’ve got, he’ll start again on Tuesday, that’s the only thing in his favour.
Confirmed on the TV behind us in the KCOM media room that the Brewers are currently bottom of the Champinship
A point at Middlesbrough is certainly a must, now...
It's a frustrating day - but all is not lost
Remember - the Brewers lost their opening two games last season...
Here's Joshua Murray's verdict from a humbling day at the KCOM
Read the full report here...
Full-time!
The Brewers lose their first away match of the 2017/18 season 4-1 here at the KCOM Stadium as an Aberl Hernandez hat-trick downs Albion.
They started the second-half level at 1-1, but a Kamil Grosicki goal sandwiched between to Hernandez efforts broke the Brewers’ resolve.
Nigel Clough can look back at a first-half that saw captain Stephen Warnock leave the field of play injured, with Jackson Irvine also sent off just minutes after a wondergoal that put the Brewers back level with their hosts.
More reaction to come from Clough and Hull boss Leonid Slutsky.
90: Three minutes of added time here
Man of the match has been given to, unsurprisingly, hat-trick-hero Abel Hernandez.
89: Another great save!
Diomande finds himself all alone in the box with acres of space but can only hit a shot tamely at Bywater - he did well to get down, though...
88: Game slowly petering out
As it has been doing for the last 20-or-so minutes. It will be interesting to see what Nigel Clough makes of it all...
PICTURE: Abel Hernandez slots home his third of the afternoon
82: Close!
Michael Hector very nearly heads the resulting corner in - but it’s just wide of the post...
82: Hull fancy a fifth
And they very nearly get it too as Lund does well to turn away a cross from the right...
77: Great block by Flanagan
The ball drops from the resulting corner to a Hull player, and Flanagan blocks well to avoid a fifth...
74: Kamil Grosicki is replaced with a standing ovation
By new signing and former Arsenal man Seb Larsson.
73: Campbell loses the ball to McFadzean
And then goes after the Brewers defender - surely that’s a yellow card?
72: Fraizer Campbell booked for obstructing Bywater's clearance
That’s just daft doing that at 4-1 up...
71: And it is Akpan who makes way
He’s ran his socks off in the midfield today.
That’s the Brewers’ third and final change.
70: Joe Sbarra readying to enter the fray
If anything else - it could prove to be some valuable game-time for the youngster.
GOAL! Hull 4-1
Abel Hernandez gets his hat-trick - a cool one-on-one finish after being slotted through by Sam Clucas.
Easy as you like from the Uruguayan.
66: Excellent save by Bywater
Grosicki breezes past Naylor down the left-hand side and squares to Hernandez - who forces a great reactions save from Bywater.
And that save gets a deserved applause from all around the stadium.
