It’s a blockbuster Friday night clash to start Hyundai A-League Round 3 as the Sky Blues travel to face Melbourne City at AAMI Park (kick off 7:50pm AEDT).

Both teams are unbeaten after collecting four points from their first two fixtures and are looking to nail their title ambitions to the mast with a win in this one.

Sydney FC will be eager to bounce back from their midweek FFA Cup Final 2018 defeat to Adelaide United, while City enter off the back of a late draw away to Central Coast Mariners in Round 2.
