COVID-19 continues to cause fixture problems for the A League schedule this season with Football Australia saying it hopes that the regular season will be completed by May with finals to be held in June.

According to sportingnews.com, the best way to stay in touch with the fixture list is to check online weekly to ensure scheduled matches are set to go ahead as planned for that week.

The weekend’s games begin with Macarthur FC set to face Brisbane Roar tonight (Friday, 9April) at 7.05pm.

For Saturday, 10 April, Newcastle Jets play Melbourne Victory at 3.05pm, Sydney FC face Melbourne City at 5.05pm and Adelaide United take on Western Sydney Wanderers at 7.10pm.

On Sunday it is Wellington Phoenix vs Western United at 7.05pm. On Tuesday, 13 April, Newcastle Jets vs Perth Glory at 7.05. On Wednesday, 14 April, Adelaide Utd vs Macarthur FC at 7.35pm.

Central Coast Mariners maintain their dominance at the top of the ladder after surviving a dramatic 2-2 draw with Western Sydney Wanderers. The draw, on the other hand, leaves Western Sydney Wanderers at risk of losing their place in the top six on the log table.

Champions Sydney FC pulled off two wins in four days to leap to fourth place, while Adelaide United and Melbourne will be worrying that their winning ways may be on shaky ground and will look to rebuild their momentum.

Log tailenders Melbourne Victory and Newcastle Jets meet on Saturday afternoon for the chance for one to climb over the other to stay afloat with a desperately needed three points that a win would give them.
