ATK Mohun Bagan Form

ATK Mohun Bagan made it five games unbeaten with a 2-0 win over NorthEast United in their most recent match a week ago.

Roy Krishna got the opening goal of the game - his sixth of the season - in the 51st minute. An own goal from VP Suhair six minutes later sealed the win for ATK.

It was a fourth successive clean sheet for Antonio Lopez Habas' side, who have condeded just three goals all season.

During their five-game unbeaten run, ATK have beaten Goa 1-0 courtesy of another Krishna goal and Bengaluru by the same scoreline. David Williams got the only goal in that win.

They have also drawn 1-1 with Hyderabad and 0-0 with Chennaiyin.

Spanish midfielder Javi Hernandez is available again, but Antonio Lopez Habas is expected to name an unchanged side. That means Australian Brad Inman will be left on the bench again.

Mumbai City Form

Mumbai City maintained their two-point lead at the top of the table with a 3-1 victory over Bengaluru.

Sergio Lobera's side made it seven wins in their last eight games with another comfortable victory, despite the late sending off of Ahmed Jahouh.

Mourtoda Fall and Bipin Singh put Mumbai 2-0 up after 15 minutes and Bartholomew Ogbeche sealed the win five minutes from time. Sunil Chhetri had given Bengaluru hope with a 79th minute penalty.

Mumbai have been impressive in victories over Goa 1-0, East Bengal 3-0, Odisha 2-0, Chennaiyin 2-1, Hyderabad 2-0 and Kerala Blasters 2-0.

Their only dropped points from the last eight games came in a 1-1 draw with Jamshedpur.

Mumbai City Team News

Ahmed Jahouh is suspended after his dismissal against Bengaluru. Cy Goodard is the most likely man to come into the midfielder, although Bartholomew Ogbeche could be handed the fifth overseas role.

Head To Head

There has been nothing to split these two sides in ISL history with four wins each, and four draws. Last season, a 2-2 draw was followed by a 2-0 win for ATK en route to winning the title.
