VENUE - SALT LAKE STADIUM, KOLKATA

LIVE SCORE UPDATE - 9163993952 & 9830885509

Desperate for a win, local outfits East Bengal and Chirag United will take on each other in a round 24 match of the I-League at Yuba Bharati Krirangan here today. Just one point above the drop zone, East Bengal disappointed supporters in their last match after bottom-rung Sporting Clube de Goa walked out with a 1-1 draw, in a match that saw their inspirational striker Bhaichung Bhutia missing out because of the recurrence of a hamstring pull. The cloud of uncertainty over Bhutia still persisting, East Bengal will have to depend on the likes of Abel Hammond and Yusif Yakubu upfront in case the India captain fails to get fit on time. Their coach Phillippe de Ridder has admitted that their side was missing quality strikers in the last match.
