Ireland aim to make history at Soldier Field this Saturday night (9pm Irish time) as they face New Zealand in the first of two Tests against the All Blacks.
Steve Hansen's all-conquering side have been in irresistible form so far this year, claiming the Rugby Championship with victory over the Springboks and with two games to spare.
Ireland, meanwhile, come off the back of defeat during their Tour of South Africa over the summer, when they came within a whisker of recording a historic result on foreign soil.
Joe Schmidt has already committed his future to the international set-up until the end of the World Cup in 2019 and will look to go one better than their narrow defeat to New Zealand in 2013, when they were beaten thanks to a last minute try from Ryan Crotty.
The Fab Four: Conor Murray, Ultan Dillane, Jamie Heaslip and Josh van der Flier are pictured against the iconic backdrop.
