In a top of the table clash, the Bombers will tackle the reigning premiers in a Round 10 blockbuster on Saturday afternoon at the SCG.
Essendon will be hoping to continue the form that saw the side claim a 29-point against Richmond last weekend.
The last time the two sides met – Sydney claimed a four-point victory in an absolute thriller 13.8 (86) to 11.16 (82).
