Weekend action in the Indian Super League (ISL) rolls on as NorthEast United FC are all set to take on SC East Bengal at the Tilak Maidan in Vasco Da Gama, Goa on Saturday.
The Highlanders have started off well in their ISL 2020-21 campaign with five points from three games so far. After starting out with a win over Mumbai City FC, they went on to draw their two fixtures against Kerala Blasters FC and FC Goa.
Head coach Gerard Nus will be confident heading into the clash against ISL newcomers SC East Bengal. NorthEast United FC have been very resilient in their defence, which was evident from their match against the Gaurs. They managed to curtail a highly attacking team and held them to a draw.
On the other end, SC East Bengal have had a disappointing beginning to their ISL journey so far. They lie at the bottom of the standings with two losses from two games, having conceded five goals and scored none yet.
SC East Bengal Head coach Robbie Fowler will hope his side are able to snap their losing streak and finally hit their strides when they take on NorthEast United FC. They are in for a tough task as NorthEast United FC have firepower in their attack with Kwesi Appiah and Idrissa Sylla.

NorthEast United FC
Head coach Gerard Nus is unlikely to make any major changes to the side that faced FC Goa in the Highlanders' previous ISL fixture. It would be interesting to see if Nus goes with Kwesi Appiah or Idrissa Sylla, or decides to go all out with both of them in attack.
Injured - None
Doubtful - None
Suspension - None
SC East Bengal
Robbie Fowler has some head-scratching decisions to make after the poor start to the campaign for the Red and Golds. With defender Daniel Fox doubtful after coming off midway against Mumbai City FC, we could see Rana Gharami back in the line-up.
The Englishman also has to choose between Balwant Singh and Jeje Lalpekhlua in attack as the former has been ineffective so far.
Injuries - Aaron Amadi-Holloway, Loken Meitei, Lalramchullova
Doubtful - Daniel Fox
Suspension - None
