Sydney FC have the chance to earn local bragging rights and underline their Hyundai A-League credentials in Saturday evening's top-of-the-table Hyundai A-League Sydney Derby.

Reigning Champions Sydney FC and their Red and Black rivals are the only teams to post back-to-back wins during the first two rounds of the campaign.

After beating Adelaide United 3-2 on the opening day, the Sky Blues downed the Wellington Phoenix at home last weekend, with Socceroos star Rhyan Grant nabbing a second half match-winner in front of The Cove.

The Wanderers followed up their Round 1 win against Central Coast Mariners with a big 2-1 triumph against Melbourne Victory last Friday.

With the new Bankwest Stadium sure to be pumping, both sides will relish the big game atmosphere in a match that is sure to excite.
