Mumbai
City
FC
set
a
couple
of
new
records
last
week
after
the
46th
and
47th
goals
of
the
campaign.
No
other
Hero
ISL
side
has
scored
more
goals
during
the
league
stage
before.
The
come-from-behind
win
over
Jamshedpur
FC
also
saw
the
Islanders
set
a
new
unbeaten
streak
record
of
16
games,
surpassing
the
previous
record
held
by
ATK
Mohun
Bagan
and
FC
Goa.
Des
Buckingham’s
men
came
close
to
losing
a
match
for
the
first
time
this
season
against
the
Red
Miners
last
week.
However,
two
goals
in
the
final
ten
minutes
of
the
match
in
Jamshedpur
added
three
more
points
to
their
prolific
tally.
Lallianzuala
Chhangte
scored
one
and
pocketed
an
assist
for
the
other.
The
winger
has
now
scored
nine
goals
and
registered
five
assists
in
16
games.
Mumbai
City
FC
will
be
without
key
midfielder
Ahmed
Jahouh,
who
picked
up
his
fourth
yellow
card
of
the
season
last
week.
“This
game
is
no
more
important
than
the
16
that
have
come
before
it
and
no
less
important
than
the
three
that
will
come
after
it.
We
always
go
game-by-game
and
get
better
after
every
game,”
said
Buckingham.
“When
you
lose
players
from
what
has
been
your
starting
XI
for
large
periods
of
the
season,
they
are
missed.
But
we
are
not
relying
on
one
or
two
players
this
year,”
he
added.
Buckingham
was
in
attendance
when
Hyderabad
FC
were
in
action
against
East
Bengal
FC,
before
their
break.
The
defending
champions
wrapped
up
another
three
points
with
a
convincing
2-0
victory
against
the
Torch
Bearers.
Now,
Manolo
Marquez’s
men
will
aim
to
bring
the
deficit
down
to
four
points
with
a
game
in
hand.
Just
like
the
Islanders,
Hyderabad
FC
have
been
excellent
down
the
flanks
with
Mohammad
Yasir
and
Halicharan
Narzary
this
season.
However,

Surrounded
by
transfer
speculation,
Narzary
has
missed
the
last
two
games
for
the
defending
champions.
The
28-year-old
was
on
target
when
these
two
sides
met
in
this
season’s
opening
fixture.
There
is
uncertainty
around
his
availability
as
Hyderabad
FC

up
for
what
will
be
their
biggest
challenge
so
far
this
season.
“We
will
play
against
the
best
team
with
a
great
coach
in
the
league.
I
have
a
very
good
relationship
with
him
[Buckingham].
They
have
good
foreign
players
and
that
always
helps
the
Indian
players
to
step
up
their
game,”
said
Marquez.
“They
are
a
complete
team
with
very
few
injuries.
They
make
little
to
no
changes
to
their
starting
lineup,
which
helps
their
consistency,”
he
added.
