The Socceroos will be without the suspended Aaron Mooy and need a win to get their World Cup qualifying campaign back on track
Australia coach Ange Postecoglou is arguably under more pressure than ever before as the Socceroos prepare to host United Arab Emirates on Tuesday night.
Having taken over the Socceroos at a very low ebb following back-to-back 6-0 defeats to Brazil and France, Postecoglou has generally had the support of the media and fans throughout his tenure.
But after four straight draws in World Cup qualifying and with Australia's hopes of qualifying directly for Russia 2018 delicately poised, the former Brisbane Roar and Melbourne Victory coach needs his team to pull through at Allianz Stadium against a similarly misfiring UAE.
