After succumbing to FC Goa in their campaign opener, Delhi grabbed two victories in a row against Chennaiyin FC and FC Pune City.
But, the visiting side, coached by Brazilian World Cup winner Roberto Carlos, will have a tough job tomorrow against a Kerala side that has been strengthened by the return of their marquee player Carlos Marchena from injury.
The Blasters, co-owned by Sachin Tendulkar, will also be boosted by the return of Indian center back Sandhesh Jhingan and his national team-mate Cavin Lobo.
Carlos said his boys will not be intimidated while playing in front of 60,000 supporters cheering for their opponents at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium tomorrow.

"The majority of my players know what to expect when you play here. I've spoken to all my players and they know it will be tough with so many supporters helping Kerala. But if we are focused and motivated, we can get the better of them," he said at the pre-match press conference.
Carlos played the opener against FC Goa, which his side lost 0-2, for 45 minutes and has not made an appearance again. He remained non-committal about his playing role tomorrow as well.
"In the last two games, there was no need for me. I will play if needed," said the 2002 World Cup winner Brazilian.
