It will be a top of the table blockbuster clash when the Bombers face Geelong at Etihad Stadium on Friday night.
While both sides remain undefeated and sit in the top two places on the ladder after six rounds, Essendon will be looking for redemption after suffering a 67-point defeat at the hands of the Cats last year.
The last time the two sides met in Round 17, 2012, Geelong ran on top of the Bombers 20.14 (134) to 10.7 (67).
