Al Ittihad currently hold a two-point advantage at the summit as they seek to reclaim the title from Al Hilal. Laurent Blanc's side do not have continental engagements this season and this could give them an edge.
Al Nassr, for their part, have had a poor campaign to this point and are eight points off the table-toppers. A defeat here could all but put paid to their title aspirations.
