Perched on top of the table, Atletico de Kolkata will look to consolidate the lead when they face a struggling Kerala Blasters FC in a battle of leaders and laggards in the Indian Super League on Sunday.
Kolkata are three points clear of NorthEast United FC in the points table.
More than their performance, the unbeaten Atletico de Kolkata have made headlines for their antics. Coach Antonio Habas and mercurial striker Fikru Teferra are, in fact, facing disciplinary action for their alleged fracas in Goa.
With Fikru set to miss Sunday's fixture because of a double booking and uncertainty persisting over former Liverpool star and captain Luis Garcia (hamstring injury), the Kolkata franchise would certainly be under pressure to bring up their first win on this ground since their 2-0 blanking of Mumbai City FC in ISL kickoff.
This would certainly give an opportunity for Kerala to notch their maiden win in a contest which is also seen as a battle between two former India team-mates and opening partners in Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly, the respective co-owners.
