Western United will look to jump Melbourne City on top of the A-League ladder to win the minor premiership in its remaining three matches of the season before finals.

The three games will occur over an eight-day period from Saturday April 30 to Sunday May 8 featuring the Central Coast Mariners, Newcastle Jets and Adelaide United all away from home.

United currently sit second on the ladder, two points behind City with a game in hand.

Three wins would secure the minor premiership for United, while a few losses could put them below Melbourne Victory, who are two points below United in third position.

Saturday’s clash against the Mariners at 4:05pm will come after a 10-day break for United.
