Western Sydney Wanderers will return to the drawing board when they host struggling Melbourne City after their seven-game unbeaten run was ended in a 3-2 defeat to Adelaide United on Saturday.
The visitors will also be aiming to return to winning ways after falling to a disappointing defeat to East Kew in the preliminary round of the FFA Cup last time out.
We say: Western Sydney Wanderers 2-0 Melbourne City
After contrasting starts to the league campaign, the host have proven to be the better side. They should be able to grab all three points as they take on a Melbourne City side who have struggled for results so far.

Coming off a defeat to Adelaide United, league leaders Central Coast Mariners will be aiming to return to winning ways when they travel to Perth Glory on Tuesday.
This is the first meeting between the sides this season, with the hosts holding on for a 1-0 win in their most recent meeting back in July 2020.
We say: Perth Glory 1-1 Central Coast Mariners
With three wins and two draws each, both teams have been decent over the last month. They are balanced at both ends of the pitch and although the visitors are yet to draw a game this season, we predict a close contest with a share of the spoils.
