The A League match tonight sees Melbourne City up against strugglers Perth Glory, who've only won once all season.
But City themselves have made a poor start to the season, sitting just two places above Glory in 7th spot on the ladder with just two wins from its first seven matches.
Both sides will need to perform if they hope to stay in touch with the leaders.
That match is on SBS from 7.30 Eastern Daylight time.
In the English Premier League, surprise league leaders Leicester City will come under a stern examination when they welcome second-placed Manchester United.

In Spain, Barcelona will look to extend its lead at the top of the Primera Liga with victory against Real Sociedad.
And in Italy, the BIG clash doesn't take place until Monday local time, when leaders Inter Milan travel to second-placed Napoli.
In tennis action this weekend, the Belgian city of Ghent will be the focal point.
But the fact the city is located an hour's drive from Brussels has focused the minds of the Great Britain and Belgian teams that will go head-to-head.
The Belgian capital has been in lockdown during the week since the Paris attacks.
It's prompted increased security levels for the Davis Cup final, but the players are comfortable about their own safety.
Britain's spearhead player Andy Murray says although he was concerned by the events that unfolded in Paris, he's happy with what's in place for the Final.
"It was obviously a bit concerning a few days ago but I think once we got here and got into the hotel, came to the venue and saw what it was like here, I think that made everyone a lot more comfortable."
Once the action gets underway, Belgium will look to become the 15th country to lift the famous trophy.
If Belgium is to win, it will rely on number one player David Goffan playing at his best, while number two player Steve Darcis has been forced to cut short his season after ankle surgery.
But the world number 16 says the enforced break from the tour has helped him get ready for the final.
"I feel really good now, I mean I could end the year very early so I could rest very good and I have been practising on clay for three weeks now. So, I have to say I feel really good."
Boxing fans will be watching the heavyweight clash between world champion Wladimir Klitschko and British challenger Tyson Fury.
The lead-up to the fight in Dusseldorf on Sunday was marked by a bizarre serenading of the Germany-based Ukrainian Klitschko.
At an open training session, Fury belted out a Bette Midler classic, "Wind Beneath my Wings" - much to the bemusement of Kiltschko.
And the British fighter Fury says he'll be singing at the fight's end too.
"Because all these past opponents come here to Germany believing they were going to lose. They were here for money. Money ain't my motivation. Winning is my motivation. And I believe wholeheartedly that I am winning this fight. Not only am I winning, I will be winning in style as well. And I am going to sing a song afterwards, to top it all off."
"What song?"
"Don't know yet but I will think of one spur of the moment, as I always do. Freestyle."
The eyes of the golfing world will be on Sydney this weekend as the Australian Golf course hosts the Open with World Number one Jordan Speith of the United States in action.
