While the Dogs' season may be all but over, there's no doubting they'd love than to slow down the high-flying Eels who are on a five-game winning streak and surging towards finals football.

Wins over the Broncos and Storm in recent weeks have seen the Eels climb to sixth on the NRL ladder, thanks in large part to their forward pack who have produced big metres over that span of time.

The Bulldogs will enter the game with a bit of confidence knowing that they pushed the Eels to golden point just over a month ago. Brett Morris' return will also give the Bulldogs a boost while the Eels go in unchanged with a potential top four spot on the line.

Expect another tight encounter between these two old rivals but it's too hard to go past the form that the Eels are in.
