It’s the match of the round on Saturday in Western Australia, with a Grand Final rematch between Perth Glory and Sydney FC.
HBF Park is the venue as last season’s Premiers host the defending Champions in a clash that promises plenty of fireworks.
Glory have had a mixed start to 2019/20, with just the one defeat and one victory from their opening five games, and three draws.
It has Tony Popovic’s side sitting in sixth spot and seven points away from the summit.
In contrast, Sydney FC have been in imperious form, moving into second spot after last weekend’s come-from-behind 2-1 win over Melbourne Victory.
The Sky Blues, who won three of their four meetings (including the Grand Final) against Glory last season won’t fear the trip west with a fantastic record in WA.
