A spot in the top six is up for grabs for Western United if they can take down the Newcastle Jets at Melbourne’s AAMI Park. Stay up to date with their A-League clash with live scores on The Roar from 7:05pm (AEDT).
Western United are in an interesting spot right now, sitting eighth on the ladder and one point outside the top six, but with three games in hand on the three sides above them. Should they win all three, they’ll actually be in a battle for top spot. They can’t afford to take Newcastle lightly, however, even if the Jets are now in last place following a nine-game winless run.

A better period of play from the Jets bit more intensity but it’s all after conceding 2 goals

One thing about Deans at Newcastle is he certainly keeps the faith in virtually the same starting side each week
