John Aloisi has stuck with a back four for the majority of the campaign, and with Josh Risdon’s estimated return, last year’s player of the season Tomoki Imai should return to centre-back in place for the experienced Nikolai Topor-Stanley who was lucky to escape a red card last time out.

Captain Alessandro Diamanti has missed the last couple of matches with a knock and could slot straight back into the team if fit. Although Dylan Wenzel-Halls hasn’t had many minutes recently, he could be used by Aloisi considering he scored against City earlier in the season.

Considering Patrick Kisnorbo’s side played in midweek, the rescheduling of this clash could come as a bit of a hindrance. However, they will still put out a strong starting eleven despite this. Matthew Leckie is expected to return to the squad in a deadly front three with Andrew Nabbout and Jamie Maclaren.

Andrew Nabbout is at risk of suspension if he picks up a yellow card in this match against Western United. It is the most important match for both sides so far this season, so, you can expect a strong and fiery encounter.
