ATK host NorthEast United on Monday in the ISL, as they look to go back on level terms with FC Goa at the top of the ISL table.
Antonio Habas's side face a woefully out of form NorthEast United, who are without a win in their last seven matches, and desperate for a turnaround in fortunes.
NorthEast have severely missed Asamoah Gyan in their last few games, with the Ghanaian superstar ruled out for the rest of the season, with an injury.
In their last game, the Highlanders were well beaten in Chennai, as Nerijus Valskis and Rafael Crivellaro scored two outrageous goals to win the game 2-0 for the hosts.
ATK had a 2-0 win of their own, beating FC Goa, and keeping the race for top spot well and truly alive as the ISL reaches its business end.

David Williams is likely to remain sidelined, with his injury meaning that Jobby Justin is likely to start again, alongside Krishna.
NorthEast will have captain Jose Leudo back after suspension, and he is likely to take one of the foreigner's slots away from Martin Chaves, with either Rupert Nongrum or Nikhil Kadam likely to come in for Chaves on the left wing.
