Analysis:
Phoenix are in fine fettle, having found their scoring mojo over the last three matches and hitting the back of the net 10 times. Glory on the other hand are coming off three consecutive losses and are fully aware Westpac Stadium on a Sunday afternoon is nigh on the toughest place in the league to re-discover that winning feeling.

The one advantage Perth may have is that, despite the long trip, Glory should be better rested than Wellington after Phoenix played a midweek catch-up fixture against Newcastle Jets. But Glory coach Dave Mitchell is well aware this could work either way as Wellington proved too good for Newcastle on Wednesday night in a 3-0 result that could have been more emphatic.

Whether the New Zealanders will be sluggish as they head into a third game in eight days, or simply brimming with confidence will be the great unknown for Mitchell, who's almost certain to be poring over videos of Wellington's 6-0 Gold Coast demolition right as you read this.

It seems incredible that just a fortnight ago, Wellington had scored only 10 goals for the season. In the last three matches, they have scored that amount again and have found the clinical edge upfront to match their hard work ethic. United's defence, admittedly undermanned at the time, simply wilted under the continual attacks from lightning Leo Bertos, Paul Ifill and Chris Greenacre. Ifill in particular had a field day that afternoon and his general creativity will be very dangerous against Glory. Added to the mix for Ricki Herbert is the fact midfielder Tim Brown is scoring goals while youngster Costa Barbarouses showed he's up to the challenge by setting up two goals against Newcastle.

Of course, in between the two big wins, Wellington lost 3-1 to Sydney away as it came up against a very solid back four and an on-fire Alex Brosque. Perth will be looking to repeat the dose with their very experienced line-up but Mitchell will be desperately hoping to weed out the little errors that have conceded so many goals. Indeed, in the last three matches, most of the goals conceded have been the result of someone neglecting their defensive duties.

This is probably selling short the abilities of Shane Smeltz, Robbie Fowler and Carlos Hernandez, who worked hard to capitalise on these opportunities but really, retreating from Hernandez and allowing him to take a free shot from the edge of the box is inviting trouble. Mitchell is well aware of this and he's called on his players to step up their mental application, for Wellington have more than their fair share of creative forwards to take advantage of the slightest lapse.

Glory, though, have been significantly boosted by the return from illness of striker Branko Jelic, who missed the Melbourne game. Indeed, this is the first match since the club's win over Adelaide that Mitchell has been able to field his first-choice line-up.

Jelic will more than likely start on the pitch relegating Eugene Dadi to the bench, while Scott Bulloch has also been included in the extended squad. Herbert, meanwhile, has kept his options open at selection, bringing in Diego, Michael Ferrante, Jiang Chen, David Mulligan and Marco Rojas to a squad that will be cut by five.

Herbert is obviously being wary in regards to how his players pull up from Wednesday night, but the most significant inclusion could be experienced goalkeeper Mark Paston, who returns from a one-match absence with a hip injury.
