Home Advantage for Mumbai City FC
Mumbai City FC hasn't rested on their laurels. After Ahmed Jahouh's departure, they've made significant additions to their squad, signing Dutch footballer Yoell van Nieff and veteran centre-back Tiri.

The fixture list holds an exciting prospect for Mumbai City head coach Des Buckingham. The team is set to face the two giants of Kolkata football on their home turf. On December 16, they will go up against East Bengal FC before locking horns with Mohun Bagan Super Giants on December 20.
