28' - Raphael Augusto takes on the Jamshedpur defence and does well to create space for a shot but it deflects off Bikey and goes out for a corner.

Just under half an hour for the kickoff in Chennai as the players warm up on the pitch.

A win against Jamshedpur FC will put Chennaiyin FC in prime position to finish inside the top 4 and book a semi-final spot having missed out in ISL 2016.

Jamshedpur FC on the other hand, who started their season solid at the back just lost the plot in the middle and are finding their feet once again. have conceded 12 goals this season, least by a side in the ISL. And with seven clean sheets they are in pole position on that stat.

Chennai has scored 13 goals at home this season, only FC Goa and FC Pune City have scored more home goals this season and are the only side to score a goal in each of their home matches.

Welcome to the live coverage of the Hero Indian Super League as Chennaiyin FC host Jamshedpur FC in a clash between playoffs contenders at the JLN Stadium in Chennai.

Its key clash at the top of the table, as Chennaiyin FC welcome Jamshedpur FC to the Marina Arena in Chennai on Sunday evening.

Chennaiyin FC have blown hot and cold in the recent matches, having suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of second from bottom NorthEast United FC, and a defeat at the hands of Bengaluru FC by the same margin. However, they have also managed to garner crucial wins at ATK and FC Goa, something that will give them a lot of confidence.

One thing that will be bugging John Gregory ahead of selecting his team is that key players midfielders DhanpalGanesh and Gregory Nelson are both suspended.

On the other hand, are on a high after going through a three-match winning streak. However, all these three wins have been one-goal victories against teams in the bottom half of the table – ATK, Mumbai City FC, and NorthEast. The Men of Steel will be looking to build on this momentum though, and get the maximum result out of this game.
