Perth Glory face Melbourne Victory at nib Stadium this Sunday. It will be the club-s fifth match in 16 days.
Captain Jacob Burns returns to the squad after missing the mid-week match in Adelaide through suspension though Naum Sekulovski will miss the clash after receiving a red card against the Reds.
Mile Sterjovski still needs to prove his fitness after the star forward was a late withdrawal from the team on Wednesday night.
It-s the second game between the Glory and Victory this season with Perth 2-nil winners at AAMI Park in week 2.
Having not won any of their previous five away matches, the Melbourne Victory will be aiming to avoid equalling the club-s record for longest winless streak on the road (six).
