So there are a lot of defensive decisions that Hamill's going to have to make and get right to keep Stewart or Noguera quiet throughout the full 90 minutes. So it's going to be a very, very interesting and a very, very big game for him. Boumous got to play a disciplined game defensively, and he's still got to go and give ATK Mohun Bagan something going forward. It's such a big game and he's going to be so critical in the title race, that they do need to be focused on their task. So, that for me is one of the battles that need to be won on the day whoever performs best will help their team win. ATK Mohun Bagan will be looking to push for the third spot, as a victory against Des Buckingham's men would mean that Juan Ferrando's side will leapfrog Kerala Blasters FC with a one-point difference.
