Having started the season with a 2-1 win against Jamshedpur, Chennaiyin have now recorded one victory in their last six games.

Csaba Lazlo's side played out a 2-2 draw with bottom of the table East Bengal on Saturday and have a quick turnaround for the repeat of last year's final.

Against East Bengal, Chennaiyin twice led through Lallianzuala Chhangte's third minute goal and Rahim Ali 64th minute strike. But they had to settle for a share of the points after two Matti Steinmann equalisers.

Prior to that, Chennaiyin had drawn with Kerala Blasters and NorthEast United and lost to Bengaluru and Mumbai City. They also recorded a 2-1 win over Goa in what has been an inconsistent start to the season.

It is now five wins from seven games for the reigning champions this season. ATK won their opening three games of the season with 1-0 wins over Kerala Blasters and Odisha, and a 2-0 victory over East Bengal in the Kolkata derby.

Team News

Chennaiyin boss Csaba Lazlo is unlikely to make many changes. Striker Isma will come onto the bench after recovering from a hamstring injury, but he is not fit enough to start in attack. Fatkhullo Fatkhulloev looks set for another cameo role from the bench.

ATK Mohun Bagan should be unchanged, although Glan Martins is pushing for a recall in midfield. Spanish midfielder Javi Hernandez continues to be sidelined with injury, as does wing-back Michael Soosairaj. Australian Brad Inman is likely to be left on the bench again.
