Al-Nassr will host Al-Fayha, seeking to bounce back from their midweek cup exit. Despite playing against 10 men for most of the second half, Jorge Jesus' team was beaten 2-1 by Al-Ittihad in the King's Cup last 16.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Nassr suffered a major blow, missing another chance to win a major trophy with the Saudi club. However, they have made a perfect start in the Pro League with six wins from six games, leading the standings with a three-point lead over Al-Taawoun.
