Pitso Mosimane's Abha received a big helping hand from Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard in the relegation fight in the Saudi Pro League.
Abha will be in action on Saturday night when they take on a star-studded Al-Ahli at the King Abdullah Sports City.
However, Abha received a boost in their bid to beat the drop as Gerrard's Al Ettifaq managed to draw 1-1 with fellow relegation-threatened Al Akhdoud on Friday night.

As a result of Fiday night's draw, Mosimane's charges have a big chance to move out of the relegation zone with a win this evening.
If other other results also go their way, Abha could climb as high as 14th position with a maximum points tonight.
Abha will want to avoid a repeat of the early season fixture against Al Ahli, where they suffered a humiliating 6-0 defeat in November before Mosimane was in charge.
