Churchill Brothers face Gokulam in bid to keep pressure on leaders

Churchill Brothers return to their base against Gokulam Kerala here on Sunday, bidding to keep the pressure on the I-League leaders.

Churchill Brothers are currently placed fourth in the table with 20 points from 14 games.

They still have six games to play and if all goes well can muster a total of 38 points. Gokulam Kerala are placed seventh with 19 points from 14 games and in order to end up among the top 5, they will have to win at least four of their five encounters.

Churchill Brothers are coming on the back of a shock defeat at the hands of Trau FC 1-0 which severely dented their prospects of being crowned league champions for the third time.

Churchill Brothers head coach Bernardo Tavares said, "Yes, the loss against Trau was a little unnerving but I believe we are only to blame for it. We weren't able to create enough goal scoring chances when we should have. Trau was disciplined and pretty hard to breakdown on the night."
