Australia captain Mile Jedinak hopes that brighter prospects at club level with England's Aston Villa will translate into an imposing performance for the Socceroos in Tuesday's AFC World Cup qualifier in Thailand.
The Aussies are second in Group B, two points behind Saudi Arabia, with the Thais bottom after four defeats to begin the third phase of qualifying.
Jedinak's confidence is sky high after two imposing performances in the Championship, with Villa on a five-match unbeaten run. The 32-year-old had made a slow start after his close-season move from Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
