FC Goa
Head coach Juan Ferrando suffered a minor setback when their winning run in the ISL was brought to an end by ATK Mohun Bagan. After their comfortable wins over Kerala Blasters FC and Odisha FC, the Gaurs faced their second defeat in the ISL 2020-21 campaign.
Spanish striker Igor Angulo will lead the attacking line with a supporting cast of talented midfielders behind him. Juan Ferrando has the luxury of choosing from midfield options such as Brandon Fernandes, Alberto Noguera, Jorge Ortiz, Alex Romario Jesuraj, and Seiminlen Doungel.
Ferrando seems to have found his ideal defensive line with Ivan Gonzalez and James Donachie as the centre-backs. Goan youngsters Saviour Gama and Seriton Fernandes are deployed on the flanks out wide.
Injured - None
Doubtful - None
Suspension - None

Head coach Csaba Laszlo will hope for a better showing from his side after two losses and a goalless draw in their last three ISL matches.
Chennaiyin FC welcome back their midfield star Anirudh Thapa after his recovery from an injury sustained earlier in the ISL season. Their attack needs the Indian star's flair and creativity after having scored just three goals so far in the competition.
