margin-bottom: 1rem;"> <span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The pressure has reached boiling point in Western Sydney with Ante Covic declaring the season a ‘write off’ after an incredibly poor start under new manager Markus Babbel. There is no doubt that the Wanderers players would have seen Covic’s comments and after accusing them of lacking hunger and leadership, the Wolf thinks they will respond as best they can against the Phoenix.</span></span></div> <div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem;"> <span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It won’t be easy though with Wellington in a rich vein of form under Mark Rudan which has seen them climb to 6th on the A-League table, equal with Adelaide United and just 4 points behind Melbourne City.</span></span></div> <div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem;"> <span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Wolf thinks that both teams will find the back of the net in this match. Wellington were strong in defence on the weekend, holding the Reds to a 0-0 draw with just 10 men. If the Wanderers are going to win they will need Bonevacia to clean up his final pass and for Oriol Riera to find at least one goal.  </span></span></div> <div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem;"> <span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">BEST BETS: <span style="box-sizing: inherit; touch-action: manipulation;">Western Sydney Wanderers ($2.02), Both teams to score – Yes ($1.58)</span></span></span></div> <h3 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;"> <span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">PERTH GLORY (WWLWW) ($2.66) v SYDNEY FC (LWWWW) ($2.54)</span></span></h3> <div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem;"> <span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bolder;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Brosque is fine form as the Sydney FC head to the west</span></span></div> <div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem;"> <span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Goals galore for these two teams on Matchday 11 with the Sky Blues defeating the Mariners 5-2 and the Glory coming from behind to defeat the Roar 2-4.</span></span></div> <div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1rem;"> <span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Both teams will be missing key players with Chris Ikonomidis (Glory) and Rhyan Grant (Sydney FC) away with the Socceroos.

And while an FA Cup would tick a number of boxes for the Mauricio Pochettino project, it is the League Cup that represents their best chance for a trophy this season, for now at least. Having put out a strong side in the last round against Arsenal, <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">we can expect them to go at this match all guns blazing</strong>.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Harry Kane</strong> can be expected to return to the starting XI at Wembley, while <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Christian Eriksen, Toby Alderweireld, Kieran Trippier, Danny Rose and Moussa Sissoko</strong> all got a rest at Tranmere. Pochettino's hope will be that his side are fresh enough to reproduce the kind of performances they conjured against Everton, Bournemouth and Cardiff, and that the tiredness that cost them three points against Wolves is now in the rear-view mirror.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></strong></span></div> <h2 style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0.5rem auto; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <strong style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Chelsea struggling for rhythm</span></strong></h2> <div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </div> <div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Confidence is a fragile thing in football, and Chelsea have seen theirs seep away over the last few weeks.
