The battle between Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory for A-League supremacy took plenty of twists and turns over the past week, and with their crucial Australia Day clash just a week away, both will be desperate to win their Round 16 matches.
As it stands, Sydney hold a five-point lead over Victory at the top of the table, but that could have been as little as two after the Sky Blues only managed a 0-0 draw against the Western Sydney Wanderers last week.
Victory, who had beaten Brisbane Roar 3-2 in an extraordinary match on Friday, travelled to Wellington on Tuesday and got a massive shock, as they were beaten 3-0 by the Phoenix and squandered their chance to close the gap.
