Apologies for the delayed start of today's coverage

A dominant Kerala side is all set to face off against Manipur, where the beautiful game is ever so popular, at the Howrah Municipal Stadium, today.

Kerala got their campaign off to a flying start as they thumped Chandigarh 5-1 in their first match. Now, they look all set to take on the men from the Northeast in their second game of the group stage.

Meanwhile, Manipur have had a poor start to their campaign, as they slipped to a 3-0 loss at the hands of defending champions West Bengal. It will be interesting to see whether Manipur can bounce back from this defeat in the match against Kerala.
