ATK Mohun Bagan team news
The ATK Mohun Bagan side is one of the most well-rounded teams in the ISL 2020-21. The side’s attack has always been a force to be reckoned with, with the team having a free-flowing forward line courtesy David Williams and Roy Krishna. However, they will be looking to get more goals from the midfield and defence, which is something they struggled with last season.
