MLC vs CCM Dream11: Melbourne City made it four successive wins as their impressive run continued against Macarthur. In their last three matches, they have won by an aggregate scoreline of 11-0 which highlights how dominant they have been but they face a real challenge to continue their form as they host top of the ladder Central Coast Mariners. The visitors are unbeaten in three after a 2-2 draw with Perth Glory and they will prove difficult to beat having lost just one of their last seven. However, City’s recent showings suggest they will have the bit between their teeth here and they can make another statement by earning the victory in this one.
