Anderlecht and Beerschot VA will battle for three points in a Jupiler League matchday 17 fixture on Sunday (December 8th). The game will be played at Lotto Park.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 4-1 victory over Westerlo in the Belgian Cup round of 16 on Thursday. They went behind to Thomas Van den Keybus' eighth-minute strike but Zanka, Kasper Dolberg and Moussa N'Diaye scored to put the hosts 3-1 up at the break. Dolberg completed his brace 11 minutes into the second half.
Beerschot, meanwhile, claimed a 4-3 penalty-shootout victory over KV Mechelen in the Cup. Geoffrey Hairemans and Antoine Colassin scored second-half goals to force extra time, where Tolis and Bilal Bafdili scored to take the game to penalties.

The draw left the Brussels outfit in fourth spot in the table, having garnered 27 points from 16 games. Beerschot are bottom of the standings on 10 points.
