The teams are in ahead of Round 18 in the 2023-24 Isuzu UTE A-League season.
Adelaide United will be bolstered by the attacking firepower of Nestory Irankunda, Ben Halloran and Yaya Dukuly for their Saturday-night clash with Western Sydney, but lose top-scorer Hiroshi Ibusuki for the contest at Coopers Stadium due to a hamstring injury.
Meanwhile, League-leading Wellington Phoenix will be without star man Kosta Barbarouses who has succumbed to a minor calf injury and will miss the trip to face Perth Glory in the Distance Derby.
