Western United will head to the impressive Bankwest Stadium tomorrow night to take on the Western Sydney Wanderers.
United are looking for a third consecutive A-League win and their second triumph over the Wanderers this season.
Their previous meeting saw United come from a goal down to defeat Markus Babbel’s side in round 5. Andrew Durante and former Wanderer Kwabena Appiah-Kubi were on target for the Green and Black that night.
