Follow all the action from Saturday's round 15 matches
THE much-anticipated Sydney Derby will have extra spice with the Swans in white-hot form and the Giants rediscovering their touch against Port Adelaide last week.
It's the Giants' turn to host their cross-town rivals at Engie Stadium in the Saturday afternoon twilight spot.
GIANTS v SWANS Follow it LIVE
James Peatling will start as the Giants' sub, while debutant Caiden Cleary is Sydney's starting sub.
Greater Western Sydney (8-5) showed signs of returning to some of its better early-season form as it overpowered the Power, even if it took time to put them away, but the pace-setting Swans present a stiffer challenge.
The Giants will be hoping to turn to a record where their past four victories over the Swans have come by an average of 1.5 points.
Sydney (12-1) will want to kick the habit of giving up early leads after trailing at the first change in most of its matches this season, even while surging to its best win-loss record since 1918.
The Swans at their best look imperious with a new-found blend around the ball driving them to success, but will be wary of their noisy neighbours being motivated by an upset that would snap their dream run.
Each side has named a debutant for the clash, with Max Gruzewski in for the Giants and Cleary named for his first game for the Swans.
The Giants have lost defender Sam Taylor and Nick Haynes through injury.

NO LATE CHANGES
SUBSTITUTES

The Christian Petracca-less Melbourne host an improving North Melbourne on Saturday night at the MCG.
Melbourne (7-6) is now part of the chasing pack sitting outside the top eight after four defeats from its past five matches before a bye.
DEMONS v KANGAROOS Follow it LIVE
The Demons have been able to brush aside the Roos in recent times with five consecutive victories by an average 51 points, but with injuries sidelining key players and their season teetering on the brink, this now looms as more than just a danger game.
North Melbourne (1-12) might have suffered a heartbreaking defeat by the narrowest of margins to Collingwood but it won plenty of admirers for a sizzling opening half as it piled on the goals against the reigning premier.
The Kangaroos will still need to bounce back from giving up a 54-point lead to the Pies, but with their emerging midfield starting to fire they suddenly look primed to test the undermanned Demons.
Melbourne has named Adam Tomlinson among three changes, while omitting Jack Billings.
The Roos welcome back Jy Simpkin and Dylan Stephens, with Kallan Dawson suspended and Jaidyn Stephenson dropped.
