Coach Ashley Wilson has made two changes to the squad that went down 2-1 to the Wanderers last week in Sydney.
Experienced defender Hannah Brewer returns from injury to bolster the Jets backline while Evelyn Chronis is in line to make her W-League debut.
Newcastle take on a Sydney FC side that defeated Western Sydney 3-0 in week one. Princess Ibini scored a brace in the Sydney derby and will be a key to their chances tomorrow night.
Former Jets Clare Wheeler returns from injury for her first clash against her home side while Cortnee Vine returns to the Hunter for her first time in Sky Blue.
