With the title race going down the wire today, second-placed Mohun Bagan will look to post an all-out win over Chennai City FC in their last outing and also hope that giant-killers Aizawl FC face defeat against Shillong Lajong in the I-League.
Regional rivals Lajong stand on the way of Aizawl's historical feat as the Mizoram side need at least a draw in Shillong to clinch their maiden title.

Should they lose, Mohun Bagan will be eyeing to win a second I-League title in three seasons.
Injury concerns for Bagan
The Sanjoy Sen's brigade lost 0-1 in Aizawl in their last outing but they still have not given up on the title hopes.
Mohun Bagan have a few injury concerns in Subashish Bose and Pronay Halder, who has been ruled out for the season, but the former could feature in the Federation Cup beginning next month.
U-22 player Raynier Fernandes returned to training and could give fellow youngster Azharuddin Mallick a fight for a place in the starting XI.
With Mallick's performance much short on expectation against Aizawl, Sen may go in for Fernandes to fulfill the U-22 quota for the Mariners.
Sen's team need full points
The Kolkata heavyweights need to ensure full points from the clash at Chennai and also hope Aizawl fall prey to Lajong in order to lay their hands on the trophy.
