David Williams' two goals in the second leg of the semi-final against Bengaluru FC punched ATK's ticket to the final. Whether it be his calm composure while taking the penalty or his slick header after keeping himself unmarked, Williams has shown that he is the most dangerous when under pressure.

His chemistry with Krishna is impeccable. The Aussie has already scored 7 goals and bagged 4 assists and would not shy to increase his numbers. Williams holds the key in ATK's swift counter-attacking approach.

Chennaiyin FC's breakout player Edwin Vanspaul will be tasked to stop him. The defensive midfielder ensured ATK didn't have much joy while going forward in their last meeting. But, Williams didn't start that game.

Edwin earned himself a national team call-up on the back of his impressive shift in the heart of the midfield. A grand total of 75 tackles, 41 interceptions, 68 clearances, and 24 blocks proves his stature. All that is left for Edwin is to check Williams on the gala day.
