All the squad news for Round 9 of the Hyundai A-League.
With just two points separating 1st and 7th place, Round 9 could see a serious reshuffle on the Hyundai A-League ladder.
There-s five more games of Hyundai A-League action when Gold Coast United and Wellington Phoenix meet at Skilled Park for the first time. In another first, North Queensland Fury will make the journey to Perth as they take on the Glory who have moved to within touching distance of the summit of the league. And the rivalry continues as Brisbane Roar make the trip down to Etihad as they prepare to take on Melbourne Victory.
On Monday, it-s the mini-F3 derby when Central Coast Mariners visit Sydney FC in their 100th Hyundai A-League match and at Hindmarsh Stadium, Adelaide United host Newcastle Jets.
