Anderlecht visit Kehrwegstadion on Sunday to face Eupen in the Belgian Pro League as they look to continue from where they left off two weeks ago.
The Purple and Whites went into the international break on the back of consecutive 2-0 wins over Cercle Brugge and Oud-Heverlee Leuven.
This saw them climb up to eighth position in the league table with 42 points from 30 games and back in contention for the league playoffs.
However, interspersed between those victories was a shock 1-0 defeat of Villarreal in the Europa Conference League.
Following a 1-1 draw in Anderlecht, the Belgian side upset the La Liga giants at the Madrigal through a 73rd-minute strike from Islam Slimani and progressed to the quarter-finals where they were drawn to face Dutch side AZ Alkmaar.
