Chloe Logarzo – Sydney FC
Tonight’s Westfield W-League season opener between the two city rivals could prove to be an arm wrestle.
And if Sydney FC are to open their account with a win, midfielder Chloe Logarzo will be key to tipping the balance of favour in their power.
The Westfield Matildas star’s midfield battle with the likes of Lo’eau Labonta will be one to watch.
Leena Khamis – Western Sydney Wanderers
Swapping Sky Blue for Red and Black is a daunting enough prospect, having to face your old teammates in the first game of the season adds that little extra spice.
Not that it should faze new Wanderers forward Leena Khamis when she takes to the field at Marconi Stadium to face her former club.
Having scored 12 times in 52 appearances for Sydney FC over the last five years, the 32-year old veteran will be eager to make her mark on the other side of town.

The experienced Ghanaian has been capped by her country 25 times and joins on loan from National Women’s Soccer League club Seattle Reign FC.
With playing experience all over the globe, Addo will be looking to make a statement in her first appearance in Red and Black.

Lisa De Vanna – Sydney FC
This one needs no introduction.
Westfield Matildas legend, Australian football icon and role model Lisa De Vanna will again link up with Sydney FC.
Wanderers defenders will be on high alert when the Westfield Matildas centurion gains possession and will need to play out of their skins to keep her quiet.
