Guangzhou FC will welcome Shenzhen FC to the Tianhe Stadium for a matchday three fixture in Group A of the Chinese Super League.
The hosts suffered a 1-0 defeat away to Shandong Taishan in their last fixture. A late trademark header by Marouane Fellaini gave Taishan all three points in a game that the visitors controlled.
Shenzhen FC played out the first goalless draw of the new season when they were held at home by Qingdao FC last Monday.
That draw saw Shenzhen drop down to fourth place in the table, while Guangzhou FC are further below in seventh place.
