After the Melbourne derby dominated the opening round of fixtures it is the all-Sydney affair that headlines the second round of the A-League season this Saturday night in the Harbour City.
Sydney FC have been the glamour side of the league over the last two years, winning two Premierships, a Championship and an FFA Cup, but with former coach Graham Arnold moving on to take the reins for the national side and several of their stars leaving, there are some signs that the Sky Blues may be losing their edge.
There has also been big change across town at the Western Sydney Wanderers with former Bayern Munich centre back Markus Babbel installed as the new manager, but despite not having many expectations this season they did manage to start impressively last week, securing a 1-1 draw in Perth.
