Collingwood will come face to face with West Coast at Optus Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The round eight clash will be broadcast live on Channel 7, Fox Footy (via Foxtel and Kayo) and AFL Live Pass, with the first bounce set for 3.35pm AEST.
MATCH PREVIEW
The rivalry between the two sides has grown rapidly over the last few years. In 2019, both teams were both granted a win in their two encounters.
While the Eagles will have home ground advantage on Sunday, the Magpies will return to Optus Stadium after last week’s impressive 22-point win over Geelong.
The Eagles will also return to the ground coming off a 30-point win over Fremantle in last weekend’s Western Australian derby.
With the Pies losing in-form Jordan De Goey to a finger injury, it opens an opportunity for another forward to come into the mix. For the Eagles, skipper Luke Shuey is likely to make his return from a hamstring injury.
The Pies currently sit in third spot in the ladder while the Eagles finish off the top eight.
