The first leg against the Czech's is at Portman Road on Thursday, October 31st, while the return leg will be played on Thursday, November 14th.

FC Slovan Liberec's passage through to the UEFA Cup second round came after they beat FC Dinamo Tbilisi 4-2 on aggregate in round one and Ipswich boss George Burley expects a difficult tie against the Czech's.

"They beat Dinamo Tbilisi in the last round and the Czech Republic are a good footballing nation," said Burley.

"It's a tricky tie for us. It will be very tough, but we will look forward to it.

"We enjoyed our time in Europe last season. That was a great experience. We have got some good young players and that will develop their talent."
