Mumbai City FC will host NorthEast United FC in Match 71 of the Indian Super League (ISL) at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda. The last time these two sides played, the match ended in a 3-3 draw with Deshorn Brown securing a hat-trick.
The Islanders have dropped out of the top four after back-to-back disappointing results. This will be a test for Des Buckingham's side to get themselves back on track for a semi-final berth.
Meanwhile, the season has been even more for Khalid Jamil and his men in recent times. The Highlanders have failed to win their last five games and have often had to field a depleted side.
However, since their 2-1 loss against Chennaiyin FC, the Highlanders have had a decent number of foreigners take center stage when required.
