Al Ahli team news
Enzo Millot will be eager to continue in the final third after the summer signing scored two goals during the week, although he is still looking for his first league goal.
Riyad Mahrez remains an instrumental figure in the side, while Edouard Mendy is expected to keep his place in goal, with Merih Demiral and Roger Ibanez likely to be paired at center-back.
Al Hilal team news
Al Hilal may face a setback as Joao Cancelo is doubtful after being forced off last time out.
In contrast, Darwin Nunez has quickly settled since his transfer from Liverpool and will be looking to build on his single goal in two league appearances.
