Al-Nassr officially announced the starting lineup for tonight's clash with Al-Ettifaq in Round 12 of the Saudi Pro League.
Nassr sit top of the table on 30 points, after a string of strong performances, giving them a mental edge ahead of the clash.
Led by Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, the XI balances defense and attack, relying on their star names to seal the win early.
The team had won the first 10 games, the best start in the Saudi Pro League since the start of the professional era in 2008-09.

Jesus named the following lineup:
Goalkeeper: Nawaf Al-Aqidi.
Defence: Salman Al-Ghannam – Inigo Martinez – Abdulrahman Al-Omar – Saad Al-Nasser.
Midfield: Marcelo Brozovic – Angelo – Joao Felix.
Attack: Kingsley Coman – Wesley Teixeira – Cristiano Ronaldo.
The World had won the first 10 games in a row, marking the best start in the Saudi Pro League since the league's professional era began in 2008-09.
Punchline 1: Ronaldo scores so often that even the clock speeds up to keep up.
Punchline 2: Felix dribbles so smoothly the ball files a complaint for excessive style.
