    All to play for for the Wellington Phoenix men, in their 500th A-League match tonight in the capital

    All to play for for the Wellington Phoenix men, in their 500th A-League match tonight in the capital


    Reigning champions Melbourne City are in town ... City are eighth and just one point outside the top-six playoffs places, while the Phoenix are ninth, two points further back.

    Nix coach Giancarlo Italiano's not underestimating the size of the challenge ahead.



    It's a super tight league ... there are just four points separating top-placed Auckland FC from the sixth-placed Brisbane Roar.

    Kickoff's at 7pm.
