Western Sydney Wanderers set the bar for debut campaigns with their Premiership-winning charge in 2012/13 and, on this opening day, they will be trying to put a dent in their new rivals’ efforts to take the A-League by storm.
The Red and Black play host to Ante Milicic’s Macarthur FC at Bankwest Stadium in the first ever Western Sydney Derby, with the Bulls aiming to write the opening page of their history books.
Carl Robinson has vowed to return the Wanderers to the A-League Finals Series for the first time in four years and, following a Round 2 clash with Western United, the new head coach will be forced to return to his old stomping ground with a Round 3 encounter against the Newcastle Jets in the Hunter.
