His hold-up play and display of strength against defenders is second to none. He has shown that if given a chance, he can score goals. In his short 30 minutes on the pitch, he scored two goals, almost bringing his team back into the game. But, after his excellent performance off the bench against Odisha, he should get the nod to start. Daniel Chima (SC East Bengal)ДЄfter the opening match, Chima was relegated to the bench. You might just watch him boss the midfield against SCEB. Thapa tries to help his team defensively as well, but he is most threatening going forward. His goal clinched all three points for his team and this time heвЂ™ll be hoping to have a similar impact.Д®ven when heвЂ™s not on the ball, he is a strong voice in midfield. The skipperвЂ™s darting run with the ball was ended with a thumping strike. The 23-year-old midfielder led his side to victory against NEUFC. Man to Watch Anirudh Thapa (Chennaiyin FC) SC East Bengal (4-4-2): Sen (GK), Hira Mondal, Franjo Prce, Raju Gaikwad, Lourenco, Mohammed Rafique, Darren Sidoel, Bikash Jairu, Naorem Singh, Antonio Perosevic, Daniel Chima.

The news of his muscle injury came prior to their clash against NEUFC, after which he was ruled out for four weeks. Inside the Chennai camp, Rafael Crivellaro remains ruled out. All three points will be important for Chennai, if they want to continue their charge for the title.Д¬rivellaroвЂ™s injury is a setback for Chennaiyin FC (Courtesy- ISL Media) With a win against DiazвЂ™s men, they will momentarily climb up to the top of the points table.

Goals from Lallianzuala Chhangte and Anirudh Thapa ensured that they remained in the top four. The Stakes Chennaiyin FCД«andovic and his team come into this game on the back of a decent win against NorthEast United.

It is now up to the SCEB squad to change this perception. вЂњAt the moment we donвЂ™t have enough quality to play matches in the Indian Super League (ISL),вЂќ he said. Head coach Manolo DiazвЂ™s post-match comments following SC East BengalвЂ™s defeat to ATK Mohun Bagan in the Kolkata Derby have raised many questions. The Marina Machans, led by head coach Bozidar Bandovic will be hoping to continue their momentum against a disheveled Red and Gold. With Chennaiyin FCвЂ™s confidence at an all-time high and SC East Bengal still trying to find their identity, it will be interesting to see how both the teams come out to play when they take on each other on Friday, December 3. The Marina Machans will be seeking their third consecutive victory on Friday.
