The Blades were typically organised and threatening throughout but looked set for defeat when 18-year-old Gabriel Martinelli steered in an opener for the hosts.

Their record against Melbourne City is reasonable, winning 11 of the 28 games played between the sides but in more recent years they have lost three of their last four matches against City.

After the defeat in the round, Khoyashchev will do everything to win and not let the leaders go far, while the gap from the coveted second place is 4 points.

They have great motivation to save, and on the road they scored 15 points out of 28 available, they will definitely give battle. I look forward to a bright match, with goals
