East Bengal travel southwards to take on the I-League table-toppers Chennai tomorrow.

This will be their most crucial match of the season, and one that can keep East Bengal's hopes of a league victory alive.

The Red and Golds are currently sixth on the table with 19 points and a match at hand.

With a win, they can come close to the table's top.
