Churchill Brothers FC will seek an improved showing when they take on Neroca FC in the I-League here on Saturday.

The Goans seem to be in a spot of bother, particularly in defence with Radanfah Abu Bakr being ruled out owing to the marching orders in the last match.

The Red Machines, though, will be happy with the return of Gambian midfielder Dawda Ceesay whose pairing with Khalif Alhassan in the middle will be one to reckon with.

Churchill Brothers are placed sixth having bagged 10 points from seven games.

Speaking before the match Churchill Brother coach Bernardo Tavares said, "The team is upset with the last few results. We played well in moments rather than throughout, which can't win you a match. So we ended up on the losing side. We want to play consistent football and ensure that we win against Neroca."
Coach Gift Raikhan said, "We are really not happy that we lost the last match. The team played a really good game. We dominated play for the most part of the game and even scored our two goals before Punjab could do so."
