**Chennai, Nov 8 (PTI)** The Indian Super League (ISL) will reach a historic milestone on Saturday as it hosts its 1000th game, marking a decade of exhilarating football action. The landmark clash will see former champions Chennaiyin FC face off against Mumbai City FC in Chennai.

Meanwhile, in Kolkata, the historic rivalry of East Bengal FC and Mohammedan SC will reignite in the ISL for the first time ever.

The ISL, launched in 2014, has witnessed 2791 goals scored across 10 finals, 6 different playoff winners, and 4 league shield champions. The foundation was laid by ATK’s 3-0 victory over Mumbai City FC in the inaugural match.

Chennaiyin FC, boasting their highest points tally after seven matches in their history, will be looking to break their losing streak against Mumbai City FC. They have lost the last six matches against the Islanders, who have a formidable away record, scoring in their last 11 consecutive away matches.

The Kolkata derby will feature East Bengal FC and Mohammedan SC, both struggling to find their footing this season. The Red & Gold Brigade, winless so far, will aim to break their losing streak and claim their first points of the season, while Mohammedan SC will be looking to build on their single win and draw in six matches.

With a significant portion of the season still remaining, both matches offer exciting opportunities for these teams to turn their fortunes around and make a push for a playoff spot.
