SC East Bengal vs Chennaiyin FC Team News
SC East Bengal
Head coach Robbie Fowler's quest for a win in his debut ISL campaign almost came to an end against Kerala Blasters FC. However, a late strike from the Blasters' youngster Jeakson Singh proved to be their undoing.
In two of their previous fixtures, SC East Bengal had taken the lead but lost the advantage. They will aim for better consistency from their defence when they take on the dangerous Chennaiyin FC side.
Englishman Fowler went into the Kerala Blasters match without Jeje Lalpekhlua, CK Vineeth, or Balwant Singh in the attack. Anthony Pilkington and Jacques Maghoma were impressive for the side while Mohammed Rafique was clinical in attack.
Injured - Lalramchullova, Loken Meitei
Doubtful - None
Suspension - None
