In-form Chennaiyin FC welcome Northeast United to the Marina Arena tonight. The two sides along with East Bengal are the only remaining clubs in contention for the final playoff spot alongside East Bengal.

Owen Coyle's side have now won three of their last four ISL games. Chennaiyin's 2-1 comeback win against Jamshedpur has now given them a massive push in regards to the playoffs. Northeast United are themselves coming into the game after an impressive 2-0 win against the Kerala Blasters.

Currently, East Bengal occupy the sixth spot with 24 points from 21 games. Chennaiyin are seventh with 24 points while Northeast are eighth with 23 points from 20 games each.

A win for CFC will knock Northeast United out of the playoff contentions. Though a loss or a draw will keep the Marina Machans still in the running, their chances of qualification in this case will no longer be in their hands.

In all, Chennaiyin need 4 points from their last two games to assure the sixth playoff spot. Can Owen Coyle's side continue their fine run of form? Let me know your thoughts...
