Here's how the two teams line up for the kick-off:
The two teams have played each other 15 times in the competition, with Jamshedpur FC and Mumbai City FC winning seven and five games respectively. Three matches have resulted in draws.
Mumbai City attacking from right to left, and Jamshedpur from left to right in the first half. The Mumbai Football Arena is rooting for a reset after a disappointing home loss for the Islanders against East Bengal.
The first 25 minutes of the game haven't produced much by way of genuine goal-scoring opportunities for either side. A few corners and close shaves, yes, but nothing that has disturbed either goalie much.
A few more failed attempts, corners and blocked shots later, we head into the mid-game interval goalless. Both sides would be ruing the missed chances, but they have 45 minutes (plus added time) more to make amends. Stay tuned for the second half.
Jamshedpur miss an early chance in the second half. Stephen Eze's header from the centre of the box is close, but misses to the right. He was assisted by Muhammed Uvais.
Mohammed Sanan breaks the deadlock. The Jamshedpur FC winger pounces on a superb cross from Imran Khan, getting a touch in from his right foot at the goal mouth to beat Mumbai City goalie TP Rehenesh. The Red Miners go ahead, and the alarm bells start ringing in the home team camp.
Jamshedpur are primed for a win tonight. A smart save from Albino Gomes leads to a fast break for the Red Miners, and Jordan Murray gets the all-important touch in before Rehenesh gets there. The Mumbai City goalie can only watch the ball sail over his head into the net, and Jamshedpur now lead 2-0 with time running out for the Islanders.
After a tepid first half, Jamshedpur have had a second half to remember for long. With Sanan and Murray's strikes already sealing the fate of the match, Red Miners skipper Javi Hernandez adds insult to injury with a third goal at the stroke of the final whistle. Jamshedpur have completed a league double over Mumbai City, and that too with a thumping 3-0 scoreline.
