Jamshedpur FC Team News
Despite sticking to the back-three formation that earned them a point against FC Goa two weeks ago, Jamshedpur FC could not hold Kerala Blasters' high-press approach last week.
It remains to be seen if their head coach Aidy Boothroyd will stick with this formation in the upcoming game or tinker further.
Boothroyd suggested that his side needs to start games a lot better in his pre-match press conference. "It's clearly something that will make a big difference to our points and, therefore, our place in the table if we stop conceding these ridiculous goals at key times in a match," he said.
Chennaiyin FC Team News
Chennaiyin FC haven't won a game since their dominant 7-3 win over NorthEast United FC on December 10. Abdelnasser El Khayati was in supreme form on the day.
He scored a hat-trick in that match and is still leading the ISL goalscoring charts, alongside Cleiton Silva and Lallianzuala Chhangte, with seven goals. With him in the side, Chennaiyin FC pose a threat to every team in the league.
Chennaiyin FC head coach Thomas Brdaric played down the expectations when asked about top-4 and title-winning ambitions in his pre-match press conferences.
"We came here to develop, and we start from zero - from the beginning. We build a team, we develop a team, and we are competitive," he said.
