Table-toppers Chennai City FC would look to consolidate their lead at the top when they face sixth-placed Mohun Bagan in an I-League fixture here tomorrow.
Mohun Bagan, on the other hand, would look forward to accumulating three more points under their belt to grab the fifth position on the table, leapfrogging Neroca FC.
The first leg between Chennai City FC and Mohun Bagan in Kolkata ended in a 1-1 draw. Mohun Bagan took the lead through Sony Norde before Nestor Gordillo Benitez restored the parity for the Chennai-based side.
Chennai City FC's Singaporean coach Akbar Nawas, who is known to make his team play attacking football, is expected to be strengthening his defence which was exposed in their game against Neroca FC which ended in a nerve-racking 3-3 draw.
However, a convincing 4-2 win against Shillong Lajon FC in their last encounter will only add to their confidence moving into the important game against Kolkata giants Mohun Bagan.
"We have an important game tomorrow and since we are in the top of the league, there's no reason for not going for it and win the match and eventually, the title," Chennai City coach Akbar Nawas said.
"Sriram and Shahabaz Alam are back from their injuries and that will be significant especially, before such an important game."
