Stoke the fire ... who makes your ultimate Sydney FC-Melbourne Victory XI? Source:AAP

It's time to stoke the fires of competitive passion ahead of a tantalising round of A-League.
The season's second installment of the Big Blue between Melbourne Victory and Sydney FC arrives with both teams in form and set to play in front of a sell-out crowd at AAMI Park.
Both clubs are in the proverbial 'big city key market' for the A-League – and both giants, who have won two titles each, claim to be the league's biggest club.
So what happens when you go through the A-League annals and come up with your ultimate, all-time Big Blue XI?
Who gets the most votes?
It's caused great debate at Fox Sports HQ, where Simon Hill, Mark Bosnich and Andy Harper have taken up the challenge, while News Limited's David Davutovic and Tom Smithies have nominated their best individual Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory outfits of all-time.
Bozza joined foxsports.com.au to discuss his Big Blue XI – check out the video at the top of the page!
Join the debate by leaving a comment below or by using the #bigblueXI hash tag.
Your poll results will be revealed on Kick Off, 6.30pm (EST) on Friday night.
How do you split the likes of Archie Thompson, Alessandro Del Piero, Juninho and Dwight Yorke?
"The most difficult area was midfield/attack," Fox Sports football expert Simon Hill said. "There's much more choice in those areas. Juninho would be an automatic pick but for his lack of impact at Sydney, while Mark Milligan and Marco Rojas probably should be in on current form."
But what do you value in your ultimate XI? Longevity over impact? Pedigree over performance?
What about versatility compared to where they succeeded at the club?
Hill adds: "The full-back positions (in fact, the defence in general), was really tough to pick. That's why I went for Muscat at right-back (although he didn't really play there in the "Big Blues") - there was no other outstanding candidate.
"Even going back through the annals only throws up names such as Simon Storey, Andrew Packer or Matthew Kemp. Ditto at left-back, although a case could be made for Byun.
"So I put Carney in there! I didn't select Popovic because he only played in this fixture twice, although on pure talent, he would have been ahead of both Leijer and Vargas."
The fascinating split below is a great springboard to start the debate. And so are the omissions. Harry Kewell and Brett Emerton barely rate a mention.
Have a look at our panel's teams, then let the debate begin.
It's over to you. In a 4-3-3 formation, who is the dominant force? Sydney? Or Melbourne?

Tune into Kick Off, 630pm (EST) on Fox Sports 1 HD on Friday night for all the build-up to a blockbuster round.
