Manchester United hosts Sahab at Old Trafford in the Champions League, with Michael Carrick taking charge of the team in the competition for the first time.
Returning to UEFA's top competition for the first time since the new format was introduced, the Red Devils will also face Atletico Madrid, Como, AS Roma, Sporting CP and RB Leipzig before Christmas, and then Bayern Munich and Villarreal in January.
Amad and Matthijs de Ligt are sidelined through injury at the moment, while Carlos Baleba is yet to make his debut because of an issue. Marcus Rashford is a doubt, and Manuel Ugarte is a long-term absentee.
In the UK, the game will be shown live by TNT Sports and will be available via its streaming services. In the US, the game will be shown by Paramount+.
"We worked hard to be here," Carrick said in his pre-match press conference.
"It's great to be here, massively looking forward to the game and the campaign and trying to make it as long as we possibly can make it. So big challenges ahead and some really fantastic games, starting (on Thursday).

"It's challenging yourself against the elite and the very best and I've said it before I think it's over a long, long, long period of time this football club's been used to challenging with the best and being the best.
"It's not something that you can take for granted of what it takes to be there and what it takes to stay there, you know?
"And we've missed out on it for a number of years and now we're back, so I think it means a lot. It's where we want to be every single year and it's where we should expect to be without being ahead of ourselves.

"It's what we have to push for, it's the standards that we want to set and it's up to us to be able to do that.
"I think we've made huge steps over the last few months or a year or so to make it in and finish the league really strong to be in this position.
"Now it's about what's next and pushing into the next chapter, if you like, the next phase, the next evolution of the team and the squad.
"This is certainly where we want to be and it's up to us now to make sure we stay here."
