Welcome to the LIVE coverage of I-League match between Mohun Bagan versus East Bengal at the Salt Lake Stadium, starting at 04.30pm IST.
Pride will be at stake in I- League's first derby this season when bitter foes East Bengal and Mohun Bagan clash in front of a sellout crowd. The arch-rivals have met once earlier this season, in a Calcutta Football League match, when East Bengal demolished Mohun Bagan 4 -0 to lift a sixth successive, and a record 37 overall title.
But much water has flowed under the Howrah bridge since then and East Bengal, for a change, will start as underdogs against Mohun Bagan, the defending champions who are on a roll with two wins on the trot. They lead the standings and 'revenge' is the buzzword for them, now. Here is the match preview which you shouldn't miss at any cost.
