Coach Dave Mitchell will also have the luxury of deploying Socceroos star Mile Sterjovski at the other end of the ground as Perth look to counter Melbourne's goalscoring exploits.

"Having both of those lads (Sterjovski and Todd) coming back in is important for us, they have been excellent in the games they've played this season," Mitchell said. "Andy has been a rock at the back and Mile can play in a variety of positions, his versatility allows us to structure up a bit differently if we choose.

"They also bring plenty of experience and class and have a positive impact on the players around them. They'll be welcome inclusions."

Perth took three points at home against Melbourne earlier this season when Branko Jelic slotted a double and will be looking to repeat that dose on Sunday.

Glory have won their past four outings against the Victorians at ME Bank Stadium and are again determined to make the trip west an uncomfortable experience.

"We've done okay in the past couple of weeks away from home but don't have anything to show for it so this game is very important for us to get points back on the board," said Mitchell.

"We were able to get the result when we played Melbourne earlier in the season but they are a very good side and can cause all sorts of problems if we're not on our toes.

"They're in-form and I believe they're the best team we have played so far this season.

"Perth is a difficult place to come and we want to make sure that's the case again this weekend. We're strong at home and will be ready to produce our best."
