Shenzhen FC are set to play Shanghai Shenhua tomorrow in their next Chinese Super League (CSL) fixture at the Dalian Pro Soccer Academy Base.

Shanghai Shenhua, meanwhile, were beaten 4-1 by Guangzhou Evergrande on Sunday. An own goal from Zhu Chenjie and goals from Anderson Talisca, Fernandinho and Ai Kesen secured the win for Fabio Cannavaro's men. Cao Yunding's goal proved to be scant consolation for Shanghai Shenhua.
