The match will kick off at 5 pm.

Mohammedan, the only unbeaten side in the ten-team fray, have 23 points with seven wins and two draws while Dipali have so far collected two points from nine first-leg games in their first Premiership season.

The good news for Mohamme-dan is that their Sierra Leone striker Donald Robert has become match fit after a month-long injury but the Black and Whites management is reluctant to give him a first team place ahead of in-form striking duo Alfaz and Manju.

Both the forwards have scored five goals to top the scorers' list and it would be difficult to see a change in their winning combination, which has kept the popular Motijheel outfit on top against all odds.

Mohammedan, with good team effort and hard work by coach Kazi Jashimuddin Joshi and manager Imtiaz Sultan Johnny, have not only wiped out memories of a wretched start to the season but also sustained pressure from pre-tournament favourites Brothers Union and Muktijoddha Sangsad.

Although defending champions Brothers are breathing on their neck with 20 points, Muktijoddha are a distant third with 16 points.

Brothers look like the only side to challenge the Mohammedan supremacy as it would be an uphill task for Muktijoddha to establish themselves as a title contender, especially after a shocking defeat to Youngmen's Club in their last match.

Muktijoddha sacked coach Shafiqul Islam Manik midway through and it would need some magic from Austrian George Kottan, the former Bangladesh national coach, to inspire the Reds to claw their way back in the title race by covering a seven-point deficit.

Other heavyweights Abahani, at fifth place on 15 points, look like non-hopers and would be busy to fight for their pride. They have not finished below third in the history of the league and the inexperienced team, handled poorly by a weak management, would surely be happy if they can keep their record intact in the end.
