Preview:
A top of the table clash is the best way to start off a weekend of football. It is the second time these sides will face off this season with the Sky Blues claiming the FFA Cup Semi Final 2-0 at Leichardt Oval in September. The return of Adrian Mierzejewski from a hamstring problem will be a big boost to Sydney having the ability to deploy their twin creatives. Melbourne City though are off to a record breaking start winning their first four games and Ross McCormack is starting to find his goal scoring touch. Graham Arnold will look to contain the City attackers but there is enough defensive fortitude to stifle this one, I would be looking at a score draw here.
