The Highlanders have been impressive this season with 11 points from their first six matches. They are just below the top two at the moment, but with matches ahead they could quite easily make the jump.
Earlier NorthEast United and Kerala Blasters have faced each other eight times with Kerala winning five of those matches and NorthEast winning two matches.
