They saw off Wests Tigers last weekend and have already beaten the Roosters and Broncos. Parramatta would be another nice scalp for them.
But they will have to do it without Dylan Walker, who is out for a month, and former skipper John Sutton. Daryl Millard comes in to replace Walker for his first NRL game in six years.
Parramatta were beaten by the Warriors last weekend but showed some fight. They will need a lot more of it to trouble the defending champions.
The Eels are unchanged from the team beat by New Zealand in Auckland. Danny Wicks has impressed in his return to the NRL and there will be a huge battle up front in the pack.
Will Hopoate also has a big job on his hands to contain opposite number Greg Inglis.
