Krylya Sovetov and CSKA Moscow will trade tackles in a Russian Premier League matchday 17 fixture on Saturday.
The hosts come into the game on the back of a goalless draw away to Nizhny Novgorod last weekend.

The defeat left the capital side in sixth spot in the table, having garnered 24 points from 16 matches. Krylya Sovetov are level on points but two spots behind due to an inferior head-to-head record.
