Al-Shabab host Al-Nassr at the King Fahd Stadium on Monday (December 11) in the quarterfinals of the King Cup.
The hosts have struggled in the Saudi Pro League this season and will hope for better luck in the domestic cup. They beat Al-Batin 2-1 in the opening round, with former Atletico Madrid man Yannick Carrasco scoring both goals. Al-Shahab beat Al-Fateh by the same scoreline in the next round, with Carrasco starring with another brace.
Al-Shabab are three-time winners of the King's Cup, last lifting the title in 2014. They last appeared in the quarterfinals of the competition two seasons ago, beating Al-Ahli 2-1.
Al-Nassr, meanwhile, kicked off their campaign with a 5-1 demolition of Ohod, featuring goals from five different players, including former Liverpool forward Sadio Mane. They then won 1-0 in extra-time victory over Al-Ettifaq in the next round with the Senegalese once again getting on the scoresheet.
