The Chicago Bears travel to Green Bay to take on the Packers in an NFC North divisional battle to kick off Week Four in the NFL, live on Sky Sports.
The two meet on Thursday Night Football - live on Sky Sports Action from 1.20am early on Friday morning - following overtime wins for both teams on Sunday.
The Bears (1-2) bounced back from defeats in their opening two games to earn a surprise win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, while the Packers (2-1) made hard work of beating the winless Cincinnati Bengals at home, having trailed 21-7 at half-time.
So, what can we expect when the two rivals meet?
What's the latest?
Players, coaches and staff from the Packers will lock arms during the national anthem before Thursday night's game, and they are asking fans to do the same in what they say will be a "moment of unification".
Bears safety Quintin Demps suffered a broken arm in their Week Three 23-17 victory over the Steelers and will be out indefinitely.
Stat attack
This game marks the 195th meeting - including the play-offs - between the two teams, the most in NFL history and the series is currently all tied up at 94-94-6.
Green Bay's QB Aaron Rodgers is targeting a personal record - he has thrown for at least 300 passing yards in each of his team's first three games and with another 300+ effort against Chicago on Thursday night, he'd become only the fifth quarterback in NFL history to hit that total in each of his team's first four games of a season.
Key battle
Chicago's best hope of a road win over their rivals is on the ground, running the ball like they did so successfully on Sunday against the Steelers. Jordan Howard rushed for 138 yards and two touchdowns, including the 19-yard game-winner in overtime, while rookie back Tarik Cohen also racked up 102 yards from scrimmage.
By contrast, the Packers have real concerns at running back - wide receiver turned runner, Ty Montgomery is averaging only three yards per carry through his first three games, and has a game-high total of 54 yards so far.
Game-changer
Rodgers. Who else? Although this game could well be one in the trenches, Green Bay always have their passer to fall back on if all else fails - and he loves a divisional game against the Bears too. Rodgers has 20 touchdowns versus four interceptions over nine career home games against Chicago, with 17 of those TDs, and only one pick, coming in the past six meetings.
