EB also lost in the Durand Cup (1-0, Sumeet Passi's own goal) ahead of this ISL season. But it's even more the case when East Bengal play - much like the stripes on two tigers, no two (modern) EB teams are ever the same. [3-1 win over NorthEast United](/football/report?gameId=653335) last Thursday for an EB side that had started the season rather dully.
EB vs MB live updates: Here are all the details of when and where to watch the East Bengal vs Mohun Bagan LIVE match in ISL 2022-23.

For the record Mohun Bagan has won all four meetings ever since the two sides started their ISL journey in the 2020-21 season.
