Jamshedpur FC have had a fantastic run ever since their draw against SC East Bengal in the season-opener. The ISL team from the City of Steel has grown more confident, as evidenced in their win against tournament favorites ATK Mohun Bagan in their last encounter. Forwards Nerijus Valskis and Greg Stewart have been prolific in the attacking third while midfielder Alexandre Lima and defender Peter Hartley have been instrumental as well.
Jamshedpur FC head coach Owen Coyle addressed the media ahead of their ISL clash against Mumbai City FC, and he pointed out the improvements the team has made compared to last season.
"In terms of the people perceptions, I don't think there is a big change in hunger. You see last year, the players were terrific last year from what we had before. There was an awful lot of improvement last year. We came very close to getting to the play-offs."

Owen Coyle and his side are preparing to face a quality Mumbai City FC side, who have been fluid in their style and raised eyebrows with some of their recent performances. He said:
