Melbourne Victory could welcome back Nick Ansell, Leigh Broxham, Pablo Contreras and Tom Rogic for the trip to Newcastle.
Many of Melbourne Victory’s senior players didn’t play in the club’s midweek AFC Champions League clash, meaning Muscat’s men will be fit and firing for the important clash.
Skipper Mark Milligan is also set to make his 50th appearance for the club on Saturday night.
