Sydney are becoming increasingly dominant with each game, and it's hard to see any team getting close to them this season. Cruising on a nine-game winning streak following their only loss to the Tigers in round three, the Swans took down the Crows by 42 points at Adelaide Oval in their most recent outing last Saturday.

They now face their crosstown rivals GWS who have been inconsistent at best and are just one win away from dropping out of the top eight.

The Giants will enter the 28th Sydney Derby with renewed confidence after overcoming a recent form slump to secure an impressive 22-point win over the Power last week.

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch GWS Giants vs Sydney in the AFL, plus plenty more.

Sydney Swans team news

Robbie Fox has overcome his shoulder injury and is available, with the ladder-leading Swans close to full fitness. Callum Mills will resume full team training this week, but he will need a few weeks under his belt before being considered for selection. Sam Reid will also return to full training this week.

In short, the Swans are close to being at full fitness which is a big threat for the rest of the league.
