You can&#8217;t go by their standing in the Hero I-League. Every team lose to some other team and so the standings does not reflect directly on the performance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Arnab Mondal, who was show caused for his alleged racist remark in the derby encounter, is all set to link up with Bello Rasaq at the centre of defense.<br \/>Khalid Jamil, meanwhile, needed a turnaround soon as they languish at the bottom of the table but his boys were really unlucky in losing out against Bengaluru FC by a solitary goal the other night.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes we are last in the league right now but we drew against Kingfisher East Bengal at home, but this is an away match so we have to fight hard&#8221;, Jamil sounded confident yet grounded ahead of the herculean task ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Jamil had his full contingent available to him save Eric Brown who was absent. Taisuke Matsugae will have to work hard in the midfield to come out with a positive result from the encounter.<\/p>\n<p>The former Indian defender did not say that they would have any special plans for the dangerous duo, Ranti Martins, and Do Dong-Hyun.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All of them are very good players and we have to defend as a unit. I don&#8217;t have any special marking plans for any individual,&#8221; Khalid admitted.<br \/>In the closely-contested Hero I-League, a win for Mumbai can take them to as high as fourth in the table while the Red and Golds have a chance to ascend to the very top.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams will look to eke out a win nonetheless with very different motivations whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p>The Hero I-League encounter will kick off at 07:05 PM and it&#8217;ll be broadcast live on Ten 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-10614\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/east-bengal-i-league.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"156\" alt=\"east bengal i league\" style=\"margin-right: 8px;
