Nicholas D'Agostino will be pushing for a starting spot on Friday, after he continued his clinical form off the bench last time out, netting his fifth league goal of the season. He is joined on the sidelines by Chris Ikonomidis, who remains out with a knee injury. Perth Glory could remain without centre-back Mason Tatafu, who has missed the last two games with an ankle injury.
