    They're there for the taking

    They're there for the taking


    That's how Phoenix coach Giancarlo Italiano is assessing Auckland FC ahead of this evening's A-League derby at Mount Smart Stadium.

    Wellington were beaten two-nil when the sides first met - Auckland remain top of the table and unbeaten after five games, with the Nix sitting fourth.

    Italiano believes Auckland are lucky to remain unbeaten thus far.



    Kick off's at 5pm from Auckland.
