Head To Head

Three of the last five meetings have resulted in a draw, but Western prevailed 4-2 in their most-recent encounter, which came at this venue.

Western United Form

After being anchored to the bottom of the ladder for large chunks of last season, Western have again started this term slowly.

Western have just one win from their six games and that came against embattled Perth Glory during Unite Round.

John Aloisi wasn't happy with his side's performance after Western went down 3-1 to Melbourne Victory last week.

Noah Botic opened his account for the season to draw his side level heading into the second half, but Victory scored twice to condemn Western to a third defeat of the season.

James Donachie remains questionable with a calf injury.

Macarthur Form

It's been a wild start to the season for Macarthur - they've scored more goals than any side in the competition (14), but are languishing outside the top six having won just two games.

Macarthur started the season with a bang, crushing Perth Glory 6-1, but they immediately lost momentum after squandering a home lead against the Jets to lose 2-1.

Mile Sterjovski's side went on to lose 2-1 against Melbourne Victory before turning things around with a brilliant late triumph over Sydney FC, coming away with a 2-1 win.

However, Macarthur became the latest victim of Auckland in Unite Round before a crazy 4-4 draw at home against winless Brisbane Roar last week.

Macarthur Team News

Chris Ikonomidis and Bernardo have yet to feature this season and both remain questionable ahead of this encounter.
