Atlético de Kolkata can go to the summit of Hero Indian Super League 2016 with a win against Mumbai City FC at the Rabindra Sarobar Stadium in Kolkata on Tuesday. The 2014 winners are the only team yet to taste defeat this season and can go two points clear at the top of the table this season with a win against Mumbai. Alexandre Guimaraes’ Mumbai City also can do the same as ATK if they manage to break a run of results that has seen them winless in their last four matches. Mumbai currently lie fourth in the table with eight points from six games, just a point behind second-placed Kolkata and two behind table-toppers NorthEast United FC.

Head-to-head: Tuesday’s clash will be the second time these two sides meet this season with their first encounter in Hero ISL 2016 ending in a 1-1 draw in Mumbai. ATK beat Mumbai 3-0 at home in Hero ISL 2014 and 4-1 away last season, while MCFC defeated Kolkata 2-1 at home in the first season and 3-2 away last year.
