Although, we managed a draw against Delhi, there were a few areas of improvement that we identified and we have worked on them over the past two days. We are filling the gaps and I am confident that our side will put up a strong performance.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nLenny Rodriguez was in great form in the last game and the onus to control the midfield will be on this seasoned campaigner.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nEmanuele Belardi, who made some superlative saves in the last game is expected to play a crucial role Saturday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
