The teams are IN ahead of the first round of the 2023-24 Liberty A-League Finals Series!
There are two Elimination Finals on the agenda in week one, with Western United playing host to Newcastle Jets on Saturday, April 13 before Melbourne Victory welcome Central Coast Mariners to the Home of the Matildas on Sunday afternoon.
There’s big news in the Western United camp ahead of their home clash against the Jets with Matildas midfielder Chloe Logarzo given a chance to prove herself fit for selection after a hip injury in mid-March.
Logarzo is tracking well on the recovery trail and although there is no certainty the experienced midfielder will feature against the Jets, her inclusion in Western’s extended squad is an encouraging sign for Kat Smith’s side as they target a deep run in the Finals Series.
Read on below for all the team news from the four teams involved in this weekend’s Elimination Finals.
