Guangzhou City take on Henan SSLM at the Wuyuan River Stadium in the Chinese Super League on Wednesday, with both sides having had contrasting starts to the season.

Henan SSLM, on the other hand, are third in the league, two points off Wuhan Yangtze at the top of the table. Javier Pereira's side have had an unbeaten start to their league campaign, having won two and drawn one of their opening three fixtures. They will look to carry that momentum into the game against Guangzhou.
