Chennaiyin FC vs Mumbai City FC - The Preview

Home team Chennaiyin FC are struggling with form as they have faltered thus far in the league. A huge win over Kerala Blasters in the last match would bring some sort of optimism in the camp but now they face a steeper challenge against last season's shield winners.

CFC manager Owen Coyle would know the importance of all three points in this match, as a win would take them within one point of the playoffs. There hasn't been any prolific scorer for the Marina Machans this season, but three players (Connor Shields, Jordan Murray and Rafael Crivellaro) are tied with 3 league goals so far. Although they have a settled team, Coyle would need a reshuffle as right-back Ankit Mukherjee is out due to his Red Card in the last match.

Mumbai City had a stutter in the first match after ISL resumption as they were beaten at home by Jamshedpur FC. But the Islanders have steered their ship in the right direction again with two victories over East Bengal (1-0) and Bengaluru FC (2-0).

The onus for Petr Kratky's men would be to continue the upsurge and reclaim the summit spot as a win would do so for them. In terms of scoring form, Jorge Pereyra Diaz is their marksman with 6 goals, while a brace against Bengaluru means Vikram Partap Singh now has three league goals this season.

Apart from that, the arrival of Iker Guarrotxena has been another boost for them, who has led them up front in absence of Pereyra Diaz. The Argentine striker didn't feature in the last two ISL matches, but is back in training ahead of the Chennaiyin clash.
