ATK travel to the JRD Tata Sports Complex to take on Jamshedpur FC in a crucial ISL game for them, as they look to ensure that they stay in touch with FC Goa and Bengaluru FC in the race for top spot in the ISL.

They are in good form, too, and will be full of confidence, having beaten FC Goa and NorthEast United in their last two games. Balwant Singh's 94th-minute winner against NorthEast was critical in ensuring that ATK didn't drop points.

Jamshedpur are in awful form, having lost four of their last five games, the last of which was a 4-1 drubbing at the hands of Chennaiyin FC.

Jamshedpur FC v ATK: Team News

Tiri is expected to remain sidelined with a rib issue, while Piti's fitness situation is still unclear. If the talismanic midfielder cannot return for this game, there isn't much scope for changes for Antonio Iriondo. Sergio Castel has scored two in two games, but he will need support from the likes of David Grande and Farukh Choudhary, if they are to get a result against ATK.

Habas's side haven't really missed the injured David Williams, with the likes of Jayesh Rane and Jobby Justin stepping up, before Balwant's heroics off the bench in the last game.

It will be a surprise if ATK change their side, but maybe Balwant could get a start ahead of Jobby.
