Dominant Bulls enter round six following their dramatic round five match against Jets, in which the side scored two come from behind goals despite being down to ten men.  Their opponents this round are Sydney FC who will be looking to continue the momentum from last weekend where they registered their first win of the season. 

Hot on Macarthur's heels are Western United who will be looking to avenge their round one Battle of the Bridge loss against Melbourne Victory with a win on Boxing Day. Wellington will be looking to turn their fortunes around against Central Coast who were the last team they beat this campaign back in round two.  Phoenix have since registered three consecutive defeats.

Adelaide United versus Perth Glory was postponed as was Brisbane Roar versus Melbourne City.  Both fixtures were required to be delayed due to COVID-19 outbreaks in Glory and City's squads respectively.  Newcastle Jets versus Western Sydney Wanderers' match was postponed on Christmas Day.
