The teams are in for the final match of the regular season as City take on Perth Glory on Sunday night. See who’s in and who’s out of this week’s side.

City will return to their full complement this week – barring their long-term injuries – as Ruon Tongyik returns to the extended side to take on Perth.

The defender missed last week through illness but has returned to full fitness, being available for the trip to nib Stadium on Sunday.

Daniel Arzani has also been added to the 18-man squad that will be cut down to 16 90 minutes before kick-off.

With City fit and firing for the final match, Head Coach Michael Valkanis says he’s excited to be able to choose from an almost full list of players.

“It’s very pleasing, the last 10 weeks has been difficult in missing some players and important players at that,” he said.

“You have to make some changes to balance up the side and this time were going in with a full strength squad and everyone fighting for a position. It’s great to be able to go into a game like this.

City take on Perth on Sunday night in the final match of Round 27, kick-off 7pm. See the match live on Fox Sports 505.
