Matej Poplatnik's (C) late goal helped Kerala Blasters draw 1-1 against ATK on Friday

Eelco Schattorie's team is fourth on the table with 20 points from 12 games. With just six games remaining and Jamshedpur FC, ATK breathing down their neck, it is imperative that the Highlanders grab a win against the bottom-placed side. There will be concerns, though, particularly their form before the break. NorthEast were winless in four games and suffered a 1-5 reverse at the hands of FC Goa in their last match. However, Schattorie will hope his side is fresh and raring to go after the long break, besides being boosted by the signings of Greek forward Panagiotis Triadis and Shouvik Ghosh.
