Following all the hype of the State League Cup Final between Floreat Athena and Stirling Lions, the attention now turns back to the APB State Premier League and the fight for survival in the final two matches of the season.
Inglewood United and Cockburn City will battle it out over 90 minutes at 6PR Stadium in the most crucial fixtures each team has played this season.
Both teams are in the bottom three and a victory for either side will go a long way in deciding their fate for 2011.
United are 10th on the table, four points clear on the Cockerels in 11th.
Inglewood has been unbeaten in its past three outings; with the latest result a 2-2 draw with Cup winners Stirling Lions.
Cockburn City is coming off a strong win at home a fortnight ago with a 3-1 victory against ECU Joondalup.
A win will be more important to Cockburn as they need to steer clear of Swan United who is equal on points, but face a difficult away fixture to Perth SC and City also has the superior goal difference.
Rory Feely has been a real find in front of goal for coach Tony Castiello's men and he has been well supported with Shane Nunes in defence and midfielders Adrian Webster and David Arraya, who put in a man-of-the-match performance against ECU.
Inglewood's Adrian Caceres is still the X-factor for Shane Pryce's team, with the former Hyundai A-League player being in devastating form since signing for the club.
Get ready for a blockbuster match as both teams have had no trouble finding the back of the net this season and each side's survival is on the line as this match will have huge ramifications of who stays up and who goes down next season!
Check out all the match highlights on www.footballwest.tv from 2pm Monday.
Second-placed Perth SC will be at home to last-placed Swan United in the Round 21 feature game for the APB State Premier League.
Both teams need the three points for very different reasons; Perth is looking to close down Western Knights and finish in top spot, while Swan United need to win to keep their survival chances alive.
Swan has drawn seven matches this season to be the equal-highest amount of draws along with ECU Joondalup.
Coach Jamie Goodman will be disappointed his side hasn't been able to turn those results into wins and that may be a pivotal factor in deciding their fate for 2011.
United hasn't tasted victory since Round 17 against ECU and will need to find that winning feeling again and pull off one of the upsets of the season against Perth at BGC Stadium - Dorrien Gardens.
James Sammut, Liam Boland, Corey Hugo and Thomas Shepheard are integral parts of the Swan United team and will need to be on song this weekend for their side to have any hope.
Perth's Dom De Felice, Hayden Doyle and Andreas Oliveira have had outstanding seasons for Graham Normanton's team and loom as the main players Swan will need to shut down.
It truly is a match that is do-or-die for United and there is no doubt they will be giving 110 per cent this weekend to make sure they remain in the APB State Premier League next season and avoid the drop.
The match will be broadcast live on Heritage FM 107.3 from 2.30pm Saturday and the highlights can be viewed on www.footballwest.tv from 2pm Monday.
