It's crunch time for England as they take on a confident Ukraine side in a must-not-lose World Cup qualifier on Tuesday night.
Following Friday's results, Mykhaylo Fomenko's team have suddenly emerged as England's prinicpal challengers in Group H, an impression that will only be enhanced if they win at the Olympic Stadium.
Never an easy team to beat anyway, the mood in Ukraine at the moment is bullish, with the public, pundits and ex-pros united in praise for a technically-gifted and hard-working team.
Sportsmail's Jamie Redknapp revealed in his column last week that he had enjoyed a round of golf with perhaps the most famous Ukrainian export, Andriy Shevchenko.
'The former Chelsea and Milan striker says they will be more than a match for England in Kiev and that doesn't make me feel comfortable,' Redknapp wrote.
But what should we expect from the Ukraine team and how frightened should we be?
Pyatov took over the keeping duties when veteran Oleksandr Shovkovskiy retired from international duties last year and is firmly established as his country's number one despite rotating the duties with Anton Kanibolotsky for club Shakhtar Donetsk.
The 29-year-old has played in every qualifying match so far and helped keep England at bay during the 1-1 draw at Wembley last September.
He also saved a penalty from Stevan Jovetic in the 1-0 home defeat to Montenegro in October.
Regular followers of the Champions League may remember Pyatov's performances for Shakhtar as they reached the last 16 in 2012-2013, a run that included a 2-1 home win over Chelsea in the group stages.
And he'll be returning to these shores again soon as Shakhtar have been paired with Manchester United in this year's group stage.
One of the many scorers for Ukraine as they thrashed San Marino 9-0 on Friday night, right-back Fedetskiy will hope for similar gains against England by pushing on in support of Tymoshchuk and Konoplyanka.
He plays for Dnipro, who are managed by former Tottenham boss Juande Ramos and currently lie third in the Ukrainian Premier League, and has occasionally been deployed in a more advanced right-wing role.
Fedetskiy didn't receive a great deal of first team football after moving to Shakhtar Donetsk from FC Kharkiv in 2008, but he flourished during three seasons on loan at Karpaty Lviv and has subsequently won 24 caps for his country.
Ukraine's centre-back colossus Khacheridi - who stands at 6ft 6in - will cause a real headache for Gary Cahill and Phil Jagielka at corners and set-pieces.
The 26-year-old Dynamo Kiev man scored twice against San Marino on Friday and also set up the second goal for Yevhen Seleznyov.
England will have to watch Khacheridi closely. He has a habit of dropping off and then attacking the back post where he can use his height and heading ability to devastating effect.
He is unlikely to get forward nearly as much as he did on Friday, however, in what will be a very cautious game.
It was his handball that gave Frank Lampard the opportunity to equalise from the penalty spot in the return game at Wembley.
The elegant centre-half Rakitskiy compliments his much taller partner Khacheridi at the heart of the Ukraine defence and will be tasked with keeping a tight rein on Rickie Lambert.
He made his debut against England as a 20-year-old back in October 2009, a match Ukraine won 1-0 with Fabio Capello's side already assured of their World Cup place.
Despite his young age, Rakitskiy has experienced great success with club Shakhtar, winning four league titles, three Ukrainian Cups and enjoying regular appearances in the Champions League.
Shevchuk has not played as much football as you might expect from a 34-year-old, having been a back-up to Romanian Razvan Rat at Shakhtar for many years.
But the left-back, now first choice for club and country, has started to develop a more attacking edge to his game.
Having been at Shakhtar since 2005, Shevchuk has enjoyed great success, notably five league titles, three Cups and the UEFA Cup when his club beat Werder Bremen 2-1 in the 2009 final.
Since the retirement of Shevchenko, Tymoshchuk is Ukraine's most famous and recognisable player, something that isn't difficult with his flowing blond hair and trademark headband.
The 34-year-old skipper is usually deployed in a deep-lying midfield role to protect his back four, though he was able to enjoy a more forward-thinking role against San Marino and supplied long balls for the first two goals.
He will be back marshalling the midfield against England and has already fired a few opening salvoes.
A veteran of 130 caps, Tymoshchuk returned to Zenit in the summer following four trophy-laden seasons with Bayern Munich.
The Treble of Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League was certainly the perfect way to say farewell to the Bavarian side.
Central midfield schemer who has been a familiar fixture in the Ukraine team for a decade.
He helped create the memorable goal scored by Konoplyanka in the 1-1 Wembley draw last year and will aim to seize control of the midfield against Gerrard and Lampard, as well as creating supply lines to Konoplyanka and Yarmolenko.
Rotan plays for Dnipro also and will figure in the Europa League this season after the club ended up fourth in the Premier League last season.
Just one of the many Brazilian-born players to come over and play in Ukraine, Edmar has received belated international recognition following his performances for title challengers Metalist.
Edmar qualifies for the national team having lived in the country for so long - he moved from Internacional to Crimean side Tavriya Simferopol back in 2002.
He has so far featured in two of the qualifiers and scored his maiden goal for Ukraine against San Marino on Friday night.
Roy Hodgson should not need to remind his players of the threat posed by Konoplyanka, the man who scored a brilliant goal at Wembley a year ago.
A right-footed winger who usually plays on the left, he will try to cut inside and shoot on his stronger foot.
Kyle Walker will have an important role to play in forcing the Dnipro man outside, while it may be prudent to have Gerrard or Lampard as cover.
Konoplyanka, who was linked with a move to Liverpool in the summer, also takes the majority of Ukraine's set-pieces.
He was understandably in his element on Friday night as he carved through the San Marino defence at will, scoring the sixth goal.
But he said afterwards that Ukraine would have preferred a sterner examination ahead of the clash with England.
'From San Marino to England in four days is a big jump in class — it can be difficult to adjust,' he said.
While Konoplyanka cuts in from the left, Yarmolenko will be trying to do the exact same on the right.
The Dynamo Kiev player will off a danger on the counter-attack, though his reliance on his left foot can prove a source of frustration.
Yarmolenko also likes a step-over, so Ashley Cole has been warned not to dive in, but he can be guilty of losing concentration.
Still, his international scoring record is fairly good, averaging a goal every three matches.
Just 23, a move from Dynamo to a bigger European club is surely on the cards soon.
Devic was the man whose shot clearly crossed the line before John Terry cleared during that tense Euro 2012 match last year, denying the hosts a place in the knockout stages.
It would have boosted the player's rather paltry goalscoring record at international level - just three in 31 appearances.
His record for club Metalist can't be disputed, however, where he has 85 in 206 games over two spells.
