#2 Ensure his players are fully focussed in the dying minutes

Late goals have hurt the Blasters the most in this season. They would have gone on to win all three matches they have played so far -- if it were not for the late goals they conceded in two of their games.

The first late goal they conceded was a wonder strike by Mumbai City FC's Pranjal Bhumij in the 93rd minute which made the score level at 1-1. Nobody closed Pranjal down and he scored from 35 yards out, catching Dheeraj Singh completely unaware.

The second one was Andrija Kaluderovic who scored in the 84th minute to help rescue Delhi a point in Kochi. Draws do not win titles.

The 48-year-old James will be wary of this and will have to ensure that in case Kerala takes the lead against Bengaluru, they do not leave open spaces and concede late. Skipper Sandesh Jhinghan would also have to ensure that his defence remains compact and there is no lapse in concentration.

The young players in the team will certainly have to punch above their weight in keeping Bengaluru's strike forces like Chhetri and Miku at bay.
