East Bengal FC will aim to strengthen its position in the Indian Super League title race when it faces Punjab FC in Kolkata on Monday.

The Red-and-Gold Brigade currently sits at the top of the table, level on points with fierce rivals Mohun Bagan Super Giant but ahead on goal difference. With this fixture coming just before the much-anticipated Kolkata derby, East Bengal will be eager to capitalise on the opportunity and maintain momentum.

Meanwhile, Punjab FC has plenty at stake as well. A victory in Kolkata would not only extend its winning streak to four matches but also bring it level on points with the league leaders, adding further intensity to the title race.
