The Socceroos will play their final second round AFC World Cup qualifying match against Palestine, looking to have a 100 per cent record in the group phase.
They have won all five games to date, including a comfortable 2-0 win over Bangladesh in Dhaka last Thursday, and will look to send a message to the rest of Asia with a good win over a determined and hard-working Palestine in Perth.
Coach Graham Arnold finally gave Socceroos fans their wish of seeing wonderkid Nestory Irankunda make his debut for the national team, and fans will hope to see him once again up close in the flesh in green and gold.
The Sporting News has all the details on how fans can follow the action in Perth.
