East Bengal, since being held by Aizawl FC in their opening game of the season, have stringed together five wins on the trot with major victory over fellow title contenders Bengaluru FC at home.
With arch-rivals and heavyweights Mohun Bagan to face after Sunday’s game, the high-flying red and gold brigade would not want to spoil their applecart against a side languishing ninth in the points table.
Chennai, coached by Robin Charles Raja, were impressive in their win against Aizawl FC at home.
The southern side has looked good in their own lair, fighting hard against Mohun Bagan but eventually going down 1-2 and holding Minerva Punjab FC to a 0-0 draw, but their travails on the road brought to the fore their inexperience.
