A-League - Melbourne City v Wellington
Sport by Tom Smithies
It’s been dubbed the closest A-League season ever – but now something has to give.
As Melbourne City stand on the verge of their first league trophy, the logjam of teams fighting for every place behind them stretches all the way down from second to 10th.
Remarkably, only City is guaranteed a place in the finals despite almost all teams having just three or four games left.
City will be presented with the Premier’s Plate on Saturday night if they defeat the Mariners, currently third.
But should coach Patrick Kisnorbo’s side suffer a mini-collapse instead, and lose their last four games, it could slip out of the top three.
