The ISL 2015 champions, Chennaiyin FC, are all set to reclaim their title this time out.

The Chennai-based ISL outfit have already made their intentions clear. With the inclusion of high-profile overseas players along with former ISL winners Henrique Sereno and Mailson Alves, Chennaiyin could be the team to clinch the cup this season.

The teams' attack comprises the likes of Indian international Jeje Lalpekhlua, Gregory Nelson, Jaime Gavilan, Mohammed Rafi and Jude Nworuh.

The firepower the team have in the attacking third is great. One of India's most lethal attackers Jeje combining with the experienced Nelson and Gavilan would make them a nightmare for ISL defences.

While Jeje is expected to play as a number 9, Chennaiyin will likely use the services of Gavilan and Gregory on either flank to provide the Mizo forward with adequate support.

The combination could perform the level expected, it will make them invincible and will help Chennaiyin reclaim their lost glory. If it fails, head coach John Gregory could bank on the experienced head of Rafi or the unpredictability of Nworuh.
