Reddy: Popa's best coach I've had
Perth Glory keeper Liam Reddy credits coach Tony Popovic with transforming the club into pace-setters in the A-League this season.
The Western Australia side, who have never won the championship, took a nine-point lead into the round.
Their chances of securing the Premiers' Plate this season were given a massive boost when they beat nearest challengers Melbourne Victory 2-1 earlier this month.
He's brought a level of professionalism that he expects and the boys have all embraced that.

They then thrashed Brisbane Roar 4-0 at home last weekend, to ensure they'll travel in confident mood to Popovic's former team Western Sydney.
Reddy, who worked with the coach at both Sydney FC and Wanderers, said Popovic had made a big difference since being hired to replace Kenny Lowe in the off-season.
The Glory finished eighth last season, but have only lost once this term and go in search of a seventh away victory on Sunday.
Speaking of Popovic, Reddy said: "He's brought a level of professionalism that he expects and the boys have all embraced that. He's definitely the best coach that I've had.
"That's not a pop at any other coaches I've had, but he's definitely got the best out of me in terms of my performance and more so what it is to be a professional off the field too."
The keeper added: "He's just got a way of doing it and if you don't want to do it, don't do it, but you won't be involved. The good thing is that every player has embraced that - that's why he's a good coach."
Wanderers, who are now nine points clear of bottom side Central Coast, have not lost at home to Perth since 2015.
The Glory are 17/20 to win their next game against Western Sydney, who are 16/5 with the draw 14/5.
Perth are 10/1 to win the game 1-0.
