Steve Bruce has every confidence his much-changed Hull City side will be "full of spirit" in their latest European test at KSC Lokeren.
With one eye already on Sunday's home clash against Stoke, Bruce will again shuffle his pack for Thursday's Europa League play-off round clash in Belgium.
That means wholesale changes are expected to be made to the starting XI which secured a 1-0 opening day win at QPR.
But rather than see it as a negative, Bruce believes giving everyone the carrot of a first-team game has harboured huge bonds within his squad.
He explained: "As I have said before, I will change all my team around and give everyone who has got us in Europe the chance to play.
"I think that is what gives us the spirit that we play with at the moment. They all know they are going to get their chance.
"I've had to leave people off the bench at QPR, George Boyd in particular, who have done wonders for me since I came here.
"I won't play any of them (from QPR), or maybe I will have to play one or two, because I haven't got enough as I can only name 21 players and not 25.
"I changed them all around in Germany last week, but we still went to Stuttgart and won 2-1, even though I know that was a friendly."
With City's first venture into Europe hindered by a lack of 'home-grown' players, Bruce's decision to rotate his squad means his options will again be restricted.
However, he can now call upon Maynor Figueroa and Andrew Robertson after adding the defenders to his European squad following the 2-1 win against AS Trencin in the qualifying round.
Unfortunately, in order to comply with UEFA rules, centre-half Harry Maguire is still not believed to be available.
City are boosted by the availability of striker Yannick Sagbo, who should be recalled to lead the line after not featuring at QPR because of suspension.
Sone Aluko is expected to partner him in attack after his non-playing sub role at Loftus Road.
Regardless of what line-up he eventually plumps for, Bruce knows his men will be in for a tough game from a side which has already played four domestic matches.
Asked what sort of test he expects to face at the Daknamstadion, the City boss said: "Lokren are a very, very good side from what I've seen.
"It will be a very different game (from the QPR match).
"Belgium is now producing some really good players.
"It's going to be a difficult game for us, a very difficult one."• Robert Snodgrass will undergo further scans today to determined how long he will be ruled out for with his knee injury.
City's medical team are waiting for the swelling to reduce so they can make an accurate diagnosis.
