The Indian Super League between Chennaiyin FC and Mumbai City FC will kick-off at 5:00 pm IST, and can be live streamed on the Jio Cinema app and website in India. It will be live telecast on the Sports18 network in India.

Here's how Chennaiyin FC line-up for the Mumbai City FC clash at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.

Mumbai boss Petr Kratky makes one change to the XI that won 4-2 against the Kerala Blasters at home, and here's how they shape up

We are under 30 minutes away from kick-off as the players are in their warm-up routines in Chennai. It could turn out to be an intense clash with both teams placed seventh and eighth on the points table.

In the last 23 meetings between Chennaiyin FC and Mumbai City FC, the Islanders have a clear advantage, winning 14 games, while CFC have managed to come out victorious in six. Three matches have ended in a draw.

We are underway at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, and history smiles bright under the sun with the Indian Super League in its 1000th game. The hosts CFC shape up with a 4-4-2, while Mumbai City FC have gone with a traditional 4-3-3.

Owen Coyle will be a happy man after the first 10 minutes as the hosts have already showcased attacking intent, and also have a shot on target. Vincy Barretto's attempt is saved in the bottom left corner.

The visitors finally find some rhythm in play, and have a few really good passes into the Chennaiyin box, and register their first shot on target in the 19th minute of the game. However, Yoell van Nieff shot is saved.

Mumbai City FC's Valpuia has been the best player for the visitors this afternoon, while for Chennaiyin, it has been Scotland's Connor Shields. However, the visitors have enjoyed a good 68% possession thus far.

And that's the first 45. It remains 0-0, but Mumbai City FC have been the better side offensively. The hosts won't be too disappointed as Coyle's men also have two shots on target, the same as MCFC. It should certainly be an exciting second half.

We are underway again for the second time this evening at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai. The hosts CFC remain unchanged, while Mumbai City FC have replaced Brandon Fernandes with Jayesh Rane.

Gooooaaall!! And Chennaiyin FC have the lead, thanks to Ryan Edwards. It was a beautiful set-piece plan, and they have executed it to perfection. Surely, one from the training ground. Chennai is buzzing, and the fans are up on their feet.

Mumbai City FC have equalised in under three minutes, and Nathan Rodrigues has put his name on the score sheet. van Nieff with one of his whips from the corner to the far post and Rodrigues heads home to make it 1-1

Chennaiyin FC have subbed in Lalrinliana Hnamte for Farukh Choudhary, Lukas Brambilla for Elsinho, while Mumbai City FC bring in PN Noufal for Bipin Singh and Thaer Krouma for Tiri

And that's the full-time whistle at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai, and it ends 1-1 with Mumbai City FC equalising through Rodrigues three minutes after the hosts opened their scoring.
