Essendon has named its side to take on North Melbourne in their first ever AFLW encounter at Windy Hill this Sunday.

Forward Lily-Rose Williamson is set to return for her first senior game since week three, adding some spark to the Bombers' forward mix against a strong Kangaroos defence.

First-year midfielder Chloe Adams has been omitted this week, joined in the emergencies by Matilda Dyke and Jacqui Vogt.

Off the back of four consecutive wins, the Dons will be keen to test their credentials against the Roos in front of their home fans at Windy Hill for the final time this season.

A big crowd is expected for Sunday's matchup, so Bomber fans are recommended to purchase their tickets in advance of the game.
