Watkins will be looking to score in his second consecutive match for his new club, Al-Hilal. The striker made his summer transfer to Aston Villa, scoring against Ivan Toni's Al-Ahli on his debut. Now, Saudi Arabia's most successful club will face Al-Young in Riyadh.
How does Watkins evaluate the Saudi professional league?
"The level I saw here today, to be honest, is Premier League level," he said after scoring on his debut and the team's 3-0 victory.
"This match was very physically demanding, had high requirements, and was of very high overall quality."
“I knew that from the beginning. I watched the Club World Cup and saw how well they played. I always keep an eye on who's at the top of the league, and they've always been near the top.”
“And you see, I wanted to come here. I want to win trophies, and I think this team gives me the best chance to achieve that.”
