Liverpool legend and East Bengal manager Robbie Fowler is under pressure after three straight losses that leave his team at the bottom of the 2020-21 ISL points table. East Bengal is currently the only team that has yet to open its account in the 11-team top-tier league. Jamshedpur FC, coached by Owen Coyle, on the other hand, would be very confident after their one-sided win over ATK Mohun Bagan, who were undefeated until they played against them.
