All you need to know about the Czech Republic, who face England in their Euro 2020 qualifying opener at Wembley on Friday.
Gareth Southgate leads his England side into Euro 2020 qualifying on Friday against the Czech Republic, but how tough will the game be at Wembley?
Take a look at the visitors on Friday night...
Form
Once contenders for major international honours, the Czech Republic now sit 44th in the FIFA world rankings, between Morocco and Greece. Champions of Europe in 1976 and semi-finalists as recently as 2004, the side were second seeds for the Euro 2020 qualification draw after finishing second in their Nations League group.
The Czechs lost home and away to Group B1 winners Ukraine but followed up a 2-1 win at neighbours Slovakia with a 1-0 home win against them in their most recent match in November.
They failed to reach last summer's World Cup and lost 5-1 to hosts Russia in a post-tournament friendly in September, although they did win 1-0 in Poland during the last international break.
Coach
Jaroslav Silhavy has been head coach of the Czech national side since September, when he replaced former Slavia Prague team-mate Karel Jarolim. The 57-year-old was a defender in his day and won four caps for Czechoslovakia before going on to take his first step into coaching with Kladno in 2007.
Silhavy spent time with Viktoria Plzen and Ceske Budejovice before getting his hand on silverware for the first time when leading Slovan Liberec to the Czech title in 2011-12.
Named coached of the year for the feat, he went on to have spells at Jablonec and Dukla Prague before leading Slavia to the 2016-17 title, having overseen a 26-match unbeaten league run.
Players
While no longer boasting the star names of the recent past, there are a number of talented players and recognisable names in the squad. Highly-rated Roma striker Patrik Schick is joined by Burnley front man Matej Vydra, who has spent spells with numerous English clubs since arriving in the UK in 2012.
Experienced midfielder Borek Dockal and Sampdoria's Jakub Jankto can cause issues, while the Czech defence boasts Tomas Kalas, the Chelsea defender currently on loan at Bristol City.
Sevilla goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik and Hoffenheim full-back Pavel Kaderabek were this week crowned winner and runner-up respectively of the Czech Player of the Year award.
