"Al-Nassr can move three points clear at the top of the Saudi Pro League when Cristiano Ronaldo's side visit top-flight newcomers NEOM on Saturday. Jorge Jesus's side have won all of their first seven league games, although their 2-1 home victory over Al-Fayha last time out came only courtesy of a 104th-minute penalty by Ronaldo for the five-time Champions League winner's second goal of the game."
"Galtier's new players include Benrahma, former Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure and ex-Arsenal player of the season Alexandre Lacazette. Former France forward Lacazette has contributed five goals and three assists in eight appearances in all competitions since ending his second spell at Ligue 1 club Lyon to join NEOM. The 34-year-old has directly contributed to six goals in his last five games."
