Pic special: Sydney get ready for God

Sydney FC will be tested by God in the FFA Cup tomorrow night for Robbie Fowler's first competitive match as new Brisbane Roar coach...and the sky blues hit the training ground to prepare.

A whole raft of changes have occured in Brisbane with more than new signings filling up spots in the team sheet. 

That includes four new foreign players from the United Kingdom, defenders Tom Aldred and Macauley Gillesphey, Irish midfielder Jay O'Shea, Welsh forward Aaron Amadi-Holloway and Kiwi goalkeeper Max Crocombe.

Corica is prepared for the new faces, but without too much exposure to the new-look Brisbane team, the Sydney FC coach is wary of his cup opponents.

"It's definitely a new look team and looks like they'll be playing a different system under Robbie Fowler," said Corica. "It's early on in the season and this is the first chance we get to have a look at them.

"They've brought over plenty of players from England that we don't know too much about.

"We're going to find out tomorrow night, I suppose."
