The teams are in for Sunday’s all-important clash with Perth Glory. See who’s in and who’s out of this week’s side!
City see the return of Socceroo duo Aaron Mooy and Alex Wilkinson to the side that defeated Wellington Phoenix 3-0 on Monday night.
After being labeled by national team Head Coach Ange Postecoglou as the best player in the Hyundai A-League, Mooy will more than likely move back into the starting eleven while Alex Wilkinson will look to fight for his spot after the positive return of Connor Chapman last week.
All will be left with City Head Coach John van’t Schip to determine his side 90 minutes before kick-off.
Arguably the in-form side of the competition alongside Melbourne City, Perth also see the return of their Socceroo representative Josh Risdon for this week’s side with Diogo Ferreira added to the extended squad.
Ferreira enters the frame for selection after the one-week suspension to Dino Djulbic in their win over Newcastle last week.
