Bitter foes Mohun Bagan and East Bengal will look to close in the gap on top of the table when they cross swords in the I-Leagues first derby clash in Kolkata on Sunday. Both the teams have nine points each but East Bengal are ahead in the standings, occupying the sixth place, compared to Mohun Bagan's eighth.

East-Bengal suffered a heartbreak in their homecoming as Chennai City FC secured a 2-1 victory to consolidate their lead in the I-League in Kolkata. Chennai's Spanish recruit Sandro Rodriquez Felipe (45+2nd) drew first-blood before Enrique Esqueda drew level seven minutes after the changeover. Chennai's other Spaniard Nestor Gordillo scored the winner, converting from the spot in 87th-minute to halt East Bengal's two-match winning run.
