Brimming with confidence after their stunning win over Goan giants Churchill Brothers, Indian Arrows will look to produce another good show when they host Neroca FC of Manipur in an I-League fixture here on Sunday.

The Arrows, under the able guidance of coach Shanmugam Venkatesh, created more than a flutter when they beat Churchill Brothers 2-1 last week for their maiden win of the campaign.

Manipur, on the other hand, have not quite been as impressive as their debut season but a well-fought draw at the home of the defending champions Chennai City in their last outing would have set them up nicely for Sunday's game at the Tilak Maidan here.

Neroca coach Gift Raikhan identified scoring as one of the areas where this team would need to concentrate on.

"Indian Arrows are a very good team as was evident in their win against Churchill Brothers and we are not taking them lightly at all," the coach said on the eve of the match.

"We are lacking in scoring but our approach will be to take three points anyhow. We respect the talent the Arrows have a lot but we will surely play to win."
