Chennaiyin faces a stern test against East Bengal

A consistently inconsistent Chennaiyin FC will face a stern test when East Bengal FC stands between the host and a victory in the Indian Super League match here on Saturday.

Chennaiyin, which is winless in two attempts at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium this ISL season, has blown hot and cold so far and collected only five points from six outings.

CFC, however, cannot afford another below-par performance, considering the dangerous weapons the visitor has in its armoury. Keen to go north during its travel to the south of the country, East Bengal — 11 points from six matches — is battling to stay in title contention.
