Interim coach Jean-Paul de Marigny expects Western Sydney to bring the same ā€˜intensity and desireā€™ to Fridayā€™s Sydney Derby as when the Wanderers shocked Sydney FC back in October.

And de Marigny, who was in the assistant coachā€™s seat at Bankwest Stadium back in Round 3, went one step further to demand the Red and Black play even better when the arch-rivals clash at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium.

Mitchell Dukeā€™s 19th-minute diving header inflicted in 1-0 defeat on their crosstown adversaries, the only loss Steve Coricaā€™s runaway Hyundai A-League leaders have suffered during a history-making 2019/20 campaign.

The Red and Black had their backs against the wall throughout the first Sydney Derby back at Wanderersā€™ spiritual home in Parramatta, and de Marigny wants to not only see the same hunger on Friday, but an improved performance to go along with it.

ā€œThereā€™s one thing that we did in that game: the intensity and the desire,ā€ said de Marigny. ā€œCollectively, we did really well that way.
