The final game of Round 14 will see rivals collide as the Bulldogs host the Eels on the Monday public holiday.
After a tough start to the season, the Bulldogs' prospects are looking brighter, with two wins on the bounce putting them on the cusp of the top eight.
They will fancy their chances of extending their unbeaten run at home against a Parramatta side still reeling from the sacking of Brad Arthur, though they did upset Cronulla last weekend.

Bulldogs vs Eels team lists: will Stephen Crichton play?
The biggest question mark ahead of this game was if star centre Stephen Crichton will back up after Game One for the Bulldogs, and Cameron Ciraldo has named him at centre for Monday afternoon's match.
Matt Burton has also been named in the halves alongside Toby Sexton; Burton was 18th man for the Blues, meaning there was little doubt he would make a straight return to the team.
The Eels only had J'maine Hopgood away on representative duty, and he has also made an instant return to the Parramatta forward pack.
The Eels were forced into a late change, with leading try scorer Maika Sivo succumbing to a hamstring strain, being replaced by Daejarn Asi.
