Bangladesh Television will telecast live the clash of the two Dhaka giants at 4 pm.

This will be the fourth meeting between the sides. The Black and Whites currently lead the head-to-head 1-0.

In their first match-up, which was the Federation Cup, Moha-mmedan relied on their experience to record a 4-1 victory. But Russel shrugged off their pre-season nerves by forcing the Motijheel outfit to share points in two Premier League matches.

The shock draws helped the little-known Russel to claim the runners-up spot in their first season in top-flight football. Having enjoyed a taste of success, they want to defeat Mohammedan and also put to rest any doubts about their credibility once and for all.

"We are not intimidated anymore just because our opponent is a titan. I believe my boys are more than capable of beating Mohammedan this time.

"We have been preparing for this match for the last seven days at Bogra," said Sheikh Russel coach Wajed Gazi, who was instrumental in his side's rise to the top.

But the 65-year-old mentor was a little worried with his goal-machine Younnes.

The Moroccan striker, who has scored in Russel's wins against Bagerhat Unmochan Club and Jhenidah Mohammedan to maintain their all-win record in the competition, is understood to have picked up a knock on the right knee.

"Younnes is a key member of my squad and that's why I'm hoping he recovers for tomorrow's match," he said.

On the other hand, Moha-mmedan captain Jewel Rana said that his team was expecting another tough encounter with Sheikh Russel.

"Our team is not in a good shape despite a comfortable 3-0 victory against the Jhenidah Mohamme-dan," said the former national captain adding that they would miss the miss the services of medio Amin Rana.

Meanwhile, in yesterday's action between two nondescript teams, Panchagarh Brothers Union and Chandpur Najirpara Krira Chakra played out a goalless draw at the same venue.

Both teams spoiled a bag full of chances with the best falling to Mamun of Najirpara who misfired in front of goal in the second half.

Panchagarh Brothers secured four points from three matches while Najirpara collected one from two games.
