Macarthur FC vs Melbourne City Team news :
After scoring last time out, Macarthur will be sure to rely on De Silva’s attacking qualities from midfield again this weekend. In their most recent 4-1 defeat, Daniel Arzani was also moved into a more creative position. Although the outcome was not favorable, he could be used with a little more freedom this time around.
Mathew Leckie has a problem with his hamstring, Richard van der Venne has a problem with his calf, and Jamie Maclaren has been dealing with a broken toe that he has played through for the visitors. However,
Andrew Nabbout and Valon Berisha have both benefited from more playing time as a result of these injuries, which should continue this time around.
