The teams are in for Thursday night’s Hyundai A-League clash, as Melbourne City FC prepare to take on Adelaide United at Coopers Stadium.
Another week for City sees another set of inclusions with Harry Novillo, Aaron Hughes, Erik Paartalu, Jason Trifiro and Tando Velaphi returning to the extended side to take on the Reds in Round 5.
After a disappointing result on Friday night, City come into the clash looking to get back into the winner’s circle and with Adelaide winless this season, both sides will be looking to pick up an important three points.
