Players to watch out for:

Joshua King (Al Khaleej)

The Norwegian striker is currently the top goalscorer for his team. He has found the back of the net seven times. He is in great form.

The forward has scored four goals in the last three matches. His movement off the ball is very clever, and he brings a lot of intensity with his pressing as well.

Karim Benzema (Al Ittihad)

The Frenchman is one of the best strikers in football history and is still going strong at 37. He led his team to the league title last season and has started this campaign on an incredible note as well. The former Real Madrid striker is much more than a goalscorer.

Benzema is a complete team player who complements his teammates very well.
