\nGoalkeeper: Mohammed Al Owais (Al Ahli Jeddah)
\nThe 29-year-old made eight saves in an encouraging 2-1 victory against floundering 2018\/19 champions Al Nassr, including a vital penalty stop from Abderazzak Hamdallah at 0-0.
\nRight-back: Abdullah Tarmin (Al Ahli Jeddah)
\nThe 23-year-old put in a measured display in the victory against Nassr which moved them up to second. Produced nine interceptions.
\nCentre-back: Ahmed Hegazy (Al Ittihad)
\nEgypt centre-back \u2013 on loan from West Bromwich Albion – continues to be a class apart in the Kingdom. Made 16 interceptions for his fourth-placed employers in 1-1 Al Shabab draw, plus sits top for headers won in own penalty area with 18 from six run-outs.
\nCentre-back: Igor Rossi (Al Faisaly)
\nDominant figure in 2-0 Al Raed win which kept Faisaly fifth. Only Al Batin\u2019s Saad Al Khayri (73) has made more interceptions than the Brazilian (69).

\nLeft-back: Sari Amr (Abha)
\nVeteran helped shut out Al Taawoun, losing the ball just once in his half. Abha are four points from danger, in ninth.
\nMidfielder: Alexander Merkel (Al Faisaly)
\nFormer AC Milan and Udinese midfielder is a growing SPL force. Made 14 recoveries against Raed in a deeper defensive position.
\nMidfielder: Ever Banega (Al Shabab)
\nBanega\u2019s majestic influence witnessed an 89-per-cent pass accuracy registered in 1-1 draw with Al Ittihad. Shabab, though, have dropped to third after just one win from four fixtures.
\nMidfielder: Driss Fettouhi (Al Ahli Jeddah)
\nMoroccan midfielder broke his Ahli duck in style, scoring a refined free-kick and resounding penalty-kick against Nassr. Continues to look a smart recruit from relegated Al Hazem.
\nRight wing: Mohammed Al Kuwaykbi (Ettifaq)
\nLow finish in the 4-2 triumph against Damac was dynamic Saudi Arabia winger\u2019s first since February. This built on the previous round\u2019s assist in the stalemate with Nassr.

\nCentre forward: Ahmed Abdoh Jaber (Al Wehda)
\nWehda\u2019s last-gasp hero pounced again to end holders Al Hilal\u2019s unbeaten start. Intelligently finished in the roof of the net in the 91st minute, securing a 2-1 victory and repeating his late antics from match-week one\u2019s meeting with promoted Al Qadsiyah.
\nLeft wing: Naim Sliti (Ettifaq)
\nTunisian creator is, arguably, the division\u2019s form player. Scored two goals from three shots v Damac, building on previous effort versus Nassr by the 10th-placed outfit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
