Mumbai City FC travel to Kochi where they'll face a stern test from Kerala Blasters FC who are buoyant after a convincing 2-0 win over ATK at Salt Lake Stadium in the weekend.
The prospect is much trickier for the visitors who conceded twice without scoring any against Jamshedpur sans their star players.
Kerala Blasters manager David James said his players had been training well and were raring to go.
"We have got so many players who have been training and have put themselves in a position to be selected. For any manager, the difficulty is a fully fit squad with everyone ready to go. The two guys who scored (against ATK) did well. Watching the videos, we created a lot of chances in the game from a lot of different players," James said.
Mumbai City have played just one game so far but coach Jorge Costa admitted they are under pressure to open their account.
"It is true that tomorrow, we have this pressure to get some points. Because Kerala play at home and after their last game, they will have pressure (to win again)," he said.
The two teams have faced each other eight times with either teams winning two games each and four others ending in draws.
Mumbai City, though, are yet to win an ISL match in Kochi, with three draws and a defeat in the last four games. The Islanders will be keen to bounce back after suffering a defeat in their own backyard against Jamshedpur FC.
