Hello everyone !!! Welcome to the our live coverage !!!

Two time Indian Super League champions ATK is looking for fresh start after a disappointing show last season, their worst ever. With a new faces in the squad and the presence of Steve Coppell at the helm of affairs, the ATK fans can expect a good show in the upcoming season. English Premier League side Fulham FC is in Spain for a one-week training camp due to the International break which gives the Indian side a perfect reality check ahead of the 2018/19 ISL. The match will be played in the Pinatar Arena Football Centre in Murcia.

This will be a great opportunity for Steve Coppell to check the strength of the players, especially the foreign recruits in the likes of John Johnson, Andre Bikey, Everton Santos, Kalu Uche and others. While the Indian players like Ricky Lallawmawma, Prabir Das, Sheikh Faiaz and Eugeneson Lyngdoh will get valuable experience playing against the London based club which is currently placed at the 13th position in the English Premier League standings.

This is the second time that an Indian side is playing against a top-tier English club. Delhi Dynamos was the first club to play against a Premier League side when they locked horns with West Bromwich Albion in a friendly in 2016.
