Melbourne City and Perth Glory square off in a crucial Round 19 clash, with both sides eager for a turnaround.

City have stumbled with three straight defeats, slipping out of the top six, while Glory, under David Zdrilic, are riding a wave of improved performances. With an attacking mindset, the visitors are determined to erase memories of their Round 4 thrashing and prove they're a different side.

Despite City's recent struggles, they remain a formidable force, especially at home, where they've secured three wins to nil this season. Perth's defensive frailties could be exposed, but with newfound confidence and a front-foot approach, they have a chance to disrupt City's rhythm.
