The red-hot, ladder-leading Melbourne City will look to extend their lead atop the A-League ladder against a stern challenger in Adelaide United at AAMI Park tonight. Follow all the action with live scores on The Roar from 7:05pm (AEST).
City are a whopping eight points clear in first on the ladder despite having played one fewer game than second-placed Central Coast. However, fourth-placed Adelaide also have a game in hand on the sides above them so, in a way, could be viewed as the biggest challenger to a City title in 2021. In any case, this will be a must-watch match.

For the A-League & EPL, City have had a very successful season. Melbourne appear unstoppable. How do you beat such a strong team? Time will tell.

HT: Adelaide had decent amount of possession and created some chances but Melbourne City grabbed 2 goals from well-worked corners. Can Adelaide get back in it :football:
