Domestic football continues during the festive season and will see Chongqing Liangjiang host Tianjin Tigers in the Chinese Super League on Saturday.
Chongqing Liangjiang have made a rather sluggish return to league football. They played out a goalless home draw against Wuhan last time out. Although they doubled their opponents' shots, they failed to create any noteworthy chances to score.
Chongqing Liangjiang sit sixth in the relegation round table with just 13 points from 18 games. They are just two points above the drop zone and will be looking to put some distance between them and other sides in the danger zone.
