Melbourne City stand on the brink of glory on Thursday night when they travel to Marconi Stadium to take on Western Sydney Wanderers.
If Rado Vidosic’s unbeaten league-leaders can avoid defeat they will secure the Premiership with a game to spare.
And they will be hard to stop with all their Westfield Matildas contingent on board for this clash against a Wanderers side desperate to rediscover some form before the Finals Series.
The Wanderers’ hopes haven’t been helped with leading scorer Kristen Hamilton missing this match through suspension.
Read on for all the important team news for this Thursday night blockbuster.
