The team is in for Saturday afternoon’s Melbourne Derby. See who’s in and who’s out of this week’s side.
Head Coach Rado Vidosic has made three changes ahead of Saturday afternoon’s clash with Melbourne Victory at Epping Stadium.
Youngsters Sofia Sakalis and Nia Stamatopoulos come into the squad, alongside Matildas international Kyah Simon.
Simon was a late withdrawal from City’s starting XI against Western Sydney on New Year’s Day, but has been given until match-day to prove her fitness.
American import Jasmyne Spencer misses the clash due to personal reasons.
