THE Wanderers will be taking little notice of their imposing record against the Roar when the two sides meet in a top-of-the-table clash in Brisbane on Friday night.

Yet to lose this season, with four wins and two draws in the opening six rounds, the Wanderers also defend an unblemished record against Brisbane, having won on all four meetings last season.

News_Rich_Media: Unbeaten Western Sydney are back on top of the A-League. The Wanderers remain the only unbeaten team pipping Melbourne Victory for their eighth straight home win.

With the Roar sitting just two points behind Western Sydney in second place, that sequence will be tested by Brisbane on Friday - and Western Sydney defender Nikolai Topor-Stanley insisted last season's results counted for little.

"I'm not going to jinx us," he said. "We don't really look into that. If we had lost every time we wouldn't look too much into that either.

"The team is full of confidence, but it's only for the moment. The season is still in the early days. There is plenty of room for improvement.

"We're happy that we are undefeated but we have to keep it going that way. We have to remember all the hard work we've put into getting these results."

Coach Tony Popovic will give star winger Youssouf Hersi until the last minute to prove his recovery from a severely bruised toe.

"He's back training,'' Popovic said. "He looks very happy and determined. His foot has improved.

"So now we just have to assess how he trains this week and how his body is and whether he will be available for selection."

Asked whether Hersi's return would boost the team, Popovic said: "Yes of course, it would be a great boost."

Top goal scorer Tomi Juric is still out with a knee injury for the Wanderers.

Ironically, Brisbane have not lost a game at home since the Wanderers defeated them 2-1 in round 17 last season.
