Being the  first time these two teams will meet this season a 100,000 strong crowd  is more than a possibility. <\/p>\n<p>Kingfisher East Bengal will miss the  services of their star forward Australian Tolgay Ozbey who is suspended  for this match with a double booking. Mehtab Hussain on the other hand  is yet to recover from his injury and is doubtful to play any part in  the match. Khemtang Paite is also not likely to play the match as he is  injured. <\/p>\n<p>Head coach of Kingfisher East Bengal Trevor Morgan  said ahead of the big clash that &#8220;It does not make a difference if few  players are injured or suspended. It is part and parcel of the game and  we have replacements in every department to have a strong team on the  pitch. We need to keep up the momentum we have from recent matches and  put in a strong performance&#8221;. Furthermore Morgan went on to request  Kingfisher East Bengal fans to come in large numbers and support their  team. On the other hand he refused to comment on the rivals Mc Dowells  Mohun Bagan.<\/p>\n<p>Sanjhu Pradhan the Kingfisher East Bengal captain  was upbeat about the match and said it was a must win match for them and  they would be going for an all out win. He was quick to add that their  present form and combinations have been working well enough to be strong  contenders to win the derby. <\/p>\n<p>For Mc Dowells Mohun Bagan their  defense will miss Anwar\u00a0 Ali, who is nursing an injury while Hudson Lima  is still to recover from a knock suffered in the last match versus  Churchill Brothers SC. Manish Mathani is also doubtful for the match.<\/p>\n<p>Mc  Dowells Mohun Bagan Head Coach Prasanta Banerjee said that &#8220;We are  currently in the 2nd in the I-League so there is no pressure on us and  nothing to worry about. We have been winning the last few matches and it  us pushed us towards the top of the table&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Mc Dowells Mohun  Bagan captain Jose Barreto said that &#8220;Attack is the best form of defense  and we will have to keep attacking and keep their defenders busy if we  are to take the pressure of our defenders&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Prasanta Banerjee  added that &#8220;Although Barreto&#8217;s thinking is attacking minded I think we  will have to play a more constructive game working the ball upwards with  many passes starting right from the defenders&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>For Kingfisher  East Bengal Penn will once again be the driving force in the centre of  the field but Mc Dowells Mohun Bagan would have pre planned a strategy  for the other key players are well.<\/p>\n<p>The Kick off is slated for 6:30 PM, November 20.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Kolkata: <\/strong>Mc Dowells Mohun Bagan will host Kingfisher East  Bengal at the Yuba Bharathi Krinangan in the first Kolkata derby of the  season in all competitions on Sunday, November 20<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-football-football"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Mohun Bagan to face East Bengal in Kolkata derby - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
