The 2015 Hero Indian Super League’s form team Mumbai City FC host reigning champions Atlético de Kolkata at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Sunday. The two teams are on opposite ends of the spectrum as far as recent results are concerned with Mumbai City FC winning their last three encounters and Atlético de Kolkata losing their last three matches. Mumbai City FC will be looking to create history by making it four wins on the trot – a feat no other side has managed to accomplish so far. It promises to be a captivating game with both sides aiming for a win.Mumbai City FC FC so far: L-D-L-W-W-WAtlético de Kolkata FC so far: W-D-W-L-L-LHead-to-Head: Both sides won their home fixture against each other last season. Atlético de Kolkata won 3-0 against Mumbai City FC in the inaugural match of the Hero ISL last season and then Mumbai City FC returned the favour with a 2-1 victory at home. Sunil Chhetri vs TiriSunil Chhetri has to be player of the 2015 Hero Indian Super League (ISL) at the moment. It is of little surprise that Mumbai City FC’s recent turn in fortune has coincided with Chettri hitting form. India’s all-time top scorer has netted six times for Mumbai since returning from national duty. Atlético de Kolkata’s defence can expect to have their hands full with Chhetri spearheading Mumbai’s attack.With Josemi out injured for ATK, Tiri has slotted in alongside Arnab Mondal to form a strong centre-back pairing for Kolkata. The Spaniard has completed a jaw-dropping 35 clearances in his three outings for Atlético so far and has also looked comfortable in possession with a passing accuracy of 83% to validate his ball retention skills.Gabriel Fernandes vs Ofentse NatoGabriel Fernandes has had a brilliant season for Mumbai City FC thus far. The fleet-footed winger has attempted 24 crosses for his side, making him second only to Sony Norde who has attempted 27 crosses for Mumbai City FC from the opposite flank. Not one to shy away from a tackle either, Fernandes has made 19 tackles at the centre of the park.A part of Atlético de Kolkata’s midfield since Season 1, Ofentse Nato’s defensive instincts make him a key component to the ATK setup. The 26-year-old defensive midfielder’s judicious use of the ball plays a vital role in Kolkata controlling the midfield. Nato has made 11 tackles, 17 clearances and has a passing accuracy of 84% for Atlético this season.Pavel Cmovs vs Sushil Kumar SinghThe only Mumbai City FC player to have featured every minute of his side’s campaign after six games, Pavel Cmovs has been a wall at the back for Mumbai this year. Calm under pressure, the 25-year-old has made more clearances than any other player from Mumbai (47). His ability to sniff out danger and break down opposition attacks have also seen him make 11 clearances as well as 11 blocks this year.Sushil Kumar Singh is likely to get a start up front in the absence of marquee man Helder Postiga through injury. Goals have been a cause of concern for Kolkata this season, with Iain Hume yet to open his account and Valdo also sidelined with injury. Kumar must step up and make the most of his opportunities with other key men missing from ATK’s attack.Quotes:No easy game. It’s going to be hard, it’s a good team even if it’s hard for them right now. We had this hard time as well in the beginning when we started. Now it’s going to be hard.
