Newcastle Jets welcome Sydney FC to the Mcdonald Jones Stadium for an Australian A-League matchday 23 fixture on Sunday.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a goalless draw away to Melbourne City last weekend.
Sydney FC, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw away to Perth Glory. They went ahead through Joe Lolley's 25th-minute penalty but were reduced to 10 men when Jake Girdwood-Reich received his marching orders nine minutes later. The Glory equalised through Kaelan Majekodunmi in the 72nd minute.
The stalemate left them in fourth spot in the table, having garnered 35 points from 23 games. Newcastle Jets are 11th with 21 points to their name.
