ISL: Unbeaten Bengaluru FC take on Mumbai FC
Table toppers Bengaluru FC will take on Mumbai FC in what promises to be an action-packed fourth round I-League match at the Cooperage tomorrow. Sitting easy on top of the nine-team table with three wins on the trot, Bengaluru FC will be hard to crack for the home team. The two have met four times in the league without a win for either team.

Mumbai started their campaign with two goalless draws before clinching a 2-1 win over Goa's Salgaocar SC on Sunday to break their winless streak. With five points, the home side are currently fourth in the league table.

Bengaluru, the 2014 league champions, are high on confidence after wins over Salgaocar, Aizawl FC and Shillong Lajong. Ashley Westwood's side routed Shillong 3-0 at home in their last game after clinching their first two away matches with more modest margins.

The Mumbai FC defence is going to be tested by the speedy Bengaluru side with CK Vineeth and new Korean striker Kim Song Yong -who scored twice against Shillong -linking up well in offence. “Kim being physical and Vineeth being in good form and using his pace to link together is a good partnership.Udanta and Sunil can also play in those positions.

"At the minute, Vineeth and Kim are doing well but we definitely have more options in that respect," said Westwood following his side's win over the weekend.

It's the second game in a hectic schedule, with BFC to travel to Kolkata to play East Bengal on Saturday. "It's important to win every game. We have a tough schedule ahead of us as we play six games in the next twenty days, which is unheard of. We have four away fixtures in our first five games as well, but we're looking to... get good results," Westwood added ahead of the game.
