Mid-season clashes don’t get bigger than this as ladder-leading Fremantle host second-placed Sydney in front of a sellout Optus Stadium.

The Dockers are hoping to rebound from a shock loss to GWS but will be without Hayden Young and Sean Darcy, who is being managed, with Mason Cox to return.

Sydney are hoping to get back on even keel with Fremantle and potentially take top spot, currently sitting four points and percentage behind them.
