Tottenham Hotspur are preparing for their first Europa League group stage game against LASK.
Spurs welcome the Austrian side to north London as Jose Mourinho bids to make a winning start in a competition he has won twice as a manager.
After the disappointment of the 3-3 draw against West Ham on Sunday, Mourinho will be desperate for his side to return to winning ways.
Speaking ahead of the LASK clash, Mourinho said: "Difficult team. I played against Austrian teams before but LASK the first time. From my analysis, my point my view, they can be a very difficult opponent.
"In both matches to qualify for the group phase, they were playing for a long time against ten men and that makes a difference of course.
"But before, when it was 11 against 11, they were always very dominant. They are a team that wants to dominate, to always press in the opposition half. They're a very difficult team and I like to play against difficult teams."
When asked about Tottenham's chances of winning the competition, Mourinho added: "We're going to try. It's the third time I played the competition and the other two times, one with Porto and one with United, we managed to win it.
"So the record in the Europa League is great, never knocked out. Of course, lost a few matches in the group phase but managed always to win it.
"It is difficult, it is a very long competition, the group phase is tricky then you go to the knockouts and you get teams coming from the Champions League which is very unfair. If you play Champions League and you don't qualify you go home. In the Europa League group phase if you finish third you go home, you don't have another competition to play."
Gareth Bale could make his first start since rejoining Spurs on a season-long loan deal, after coming off the bench against West Ham at the weekend.
Mourinho will be without Eric Dier and Japhet Tanganga, however, Erik Lamela and Giovani Lo Celso have returned to full training and should be in contention for selection.
Full Tottenham squad available:
Goalkeepers: Hugo Lloris, Joe Hart, Brandon Austin, Alfie Whiteman
Defenders: Matt Doherty, Sergio Reguilon, Toby Alderweireld, Davinson Sanchez, Serge Aurier, Ben Davies, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Dennis Cirkin
