Hyundai Ins and Outs: Round 26

The Original Rivalry is the eye-catching fixture ahead of the weekend's action in the Hyundai A-League with both Adelaide United and Melbourne Victory boosted by key inclusions.

Kevin Muscat has almost a full squad to choose from with the likes of skipper Carl Valeri, midfielder Terry Antonis and keeper Lawrence Thomas all set for a return for the Good Friday clash at Coopers Stadium.

But the Reds also welcome back a key cog to their side, with defender Jordan Elsey in line to start alongside Michael Jakobsen in the heart of defence.
