Nottingham Forest will switch their attention to Europa League action this week, with Istanbul the destination as the Reds take on Fenerbahce.
Forest missed out on a place in the top eight of the league stage, which means a last-32 game to join the big boys in the round of 16.
Vitor Pereira will take charge of Forest for the first time after replacing Sean Dyche, with the Portuguese boss previously managing Fenerbahce on two occasions.
The winner of this tie will face either Real Betis or Midtjylland, with the Reds facing both clubs in the league stage of the competition, drawing in Seville and losing at home to the Danish outfit.
