The “grand final” has come early for Melbourne City, whose A-League season is on the line against Western Sydney Wanderers on Saturday.
A loss at CommBank Stadium to the sixth-placed Wanderers will end City’s hopes of playing finals football .
City are in hot form heading into contest after thrashing a woeful Perth Glory 8-0 at AAMI Park last Sunday.“When someone is involved in 20 goal involvements , and can influence a game on a dime, they’re special players with special qualities,” Vidmar said of Arslan.Tolgay Arslan celebrates after scoring one his three goals against Perth Glory.

While City are fighting for the chance to play in the finals series, third-placed Melbourne Victory are certain to finish in the top six. “The goal for us was trying to make the top two, maybe even potentially finish first … and now that that’s not possible, our focus has shifted to the finals,” Arzani said.
