The Changes:

If Jacob Italiano recovers from his abductor injury in time, he is the clear option to come back into the side for Aziz Behich, this shifts Jordy Bos back to his native left side despite impressing off the right.

Conor Metcalfe has been playing well so he needs to stay in the side, he should partner Jackson Irvine in midfield, and should have a good connection with him due to their time played together at St Pauli over the last few seasons.

The last changes reshuffle the attack to a trio we haven't witnessed yet somehow, as it's clearly our best. Nestory Irankuna was wasted at striker, he needs to go back to wing, allowing Mohamed Toure to hold the play up to unleash Irankunda and Christian Volpato.
