Al Nassr vs Al Ittifaq team news
Al Nassr
All Nassr haven't played in the league since they hammered Al Riyadh at Al Awal Park on December 8th. Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring in this game and two goals from Talisca and one from Otavio cancelled out Al Riyadh's only goal of the game in the sixty-eighth minute.
Al Nassr came through their King's Cup game against Al Shabab without any further injuries or suspensions, so have a clean bill of health for the game against Al Ittifaq on Friday.
Predicted Lineup: Al Aqidi (GK), Laporte, Al Ghannam, Lajami, Brozović, Fofana, Otávio, Talisca, Yahya, Ronaldo & Mané
Al Ittifaq
Al Ittifaq would have been expecting a tricky game at home to high-flying Al Taawon but would have hoped for a better result. The visitors scored a goal in each half to win the game 2-0 as Al Ittifaq's struggles in front of the goal continued, making it five games from six that Steven Gerrard's side have now failed to score in.
Hamdan Al Shamrani was taken off at halftime in that defeat and could be replaced by Ahmed Al Ghamdi for the trip to Al Nassr.
Predicted Lineup: Victor (GK), Tisserand, Hendry, Al Ghamdi, Khateeb, Al Otaibi, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Hazzazi, Quaison & Dembélé

Player to Watch: Cristiano Ronaldo
The Portuguese legend continues to fire in the goals even at the age of thirty-eight.
Ronaldo has scored sixteen times in the league this season, more than any other player but he might face some competition for the Golden Boot award from Aleksandar Mitrovic and Georges Nkoudou this season.
You can't bet against Ronaldo scoring again this weekend as the former Real Madrid star has scored more goals than games played in the league this season and still seems to enjoy putting the ball into the back of the net just as he did in his prime.
