After a clinical 3-0 dispatch of the Wanderers where winger Marcus Younis played a starring role, City backed up with a 2-1 mid-week triumph over the Mariners - a result that saw them overtake Macarthur into sixth spot.
Andreas Kuen opened the scoring for his second goal in as many games before Andrew Nabbout doubled City's advantage. The Mariners scored late in stoppage time, but the result was never in any doubt.

That means a win here would see them leapfrog City on the table and potentially finish the round in the finals positions.
Wellington have compiled a three-game winning streak, taking care of lowly Perth (2-0) and Brisbane (2-1) before last week's big 1-0 upset of Melbourne Victory.
Sander Kartum volleyed home the winner in the 88th minute to hand Phoenix their first win over Victory at AAMI Park in nine years, keeping the Kiwi club well and truly in the finals picture.
