Macarthur are expected to be forced into a change after Daniel Arzani needed to be withdrawn through injury versus Melbourne Victory.Įither Craig Noone or Anthony Carter are expected to be brought into the team in his place in what may be the only alteration made by Yorke. This will be Perth's sixth away match in seven fixtures in the A-League this campaign, meaning that a win on unfamiliar territory would put them in a position to take advantage of their home matches later in the season. With matches in hand on many of the teams above them, Zadkovich will feel that there is an opportunity to make quick headway up the table with a win on Sunday. Nevertheless, Yorke may prefer to focus on the present, aware that his side had netted nine times in five games before the break for the World Cup.įrom the perspective of Perth Glory, there was a sense of relief when they were able to get off the bottom of the table with a 2-1 success over Western United.ĭespite controlling much of the contest, an 83rd-minute goal halved the deficit to put the home side under pressure, but Ruben Zadkovich witnessed his team hold on to secure an important three points. Just as it appeared that Macarthur were on course for their first clean sheet in five matches, an 84th-minute goal proved to be the difference for the visitors.Īs it stands, there is scope for Macarthur's season to go either way, there currently being room for manoeuvre to go as high as fourth or as low as 11th by the end of this matchday. However, three defeats have come from their last four outings, the most recent being by a 1-0 scoreline at home to Melbourne Victory last weekend. With Macarthur starting their campaign by collecting five points from three matches, Dwight Yorke would have felt that his side would only kick on and earn more positive results.
