Victory can not only spoil the party but three points helps their chances of playing finals and even potentially winning the premier's plate themselves. 

Canberra then travel to Newcastle to face the Jets. The team in green need to keep winning to give themselves the best chance at playing finals. With Michelle Heyman scoring for fun and leading the line, the Jets defence will have their hands full. 


Newcastle were convincing winners over Perth but struggled to create against Melbourne City and will look to bounce back. 

The round ends on Sunday as Adelaide United and the Western Sydney Wanderers do battle at Coopers Stadium.  The Reds want to put their best foot forward not only for their finals chances as they currently sit in fourth, but to entertain what they are hoping will be a record crowd. 

The Wanderers are out of finals contention but have strung together some solid performances and want to finish the season on a high.
