Apisai Koroisau and Viliame Kikau of the Penrith Panthers will be returning this week to meet the high flying Eels who will feature robust winger Maika Sivo and centre Waqa Blake.
Parramatta's win over the Storm last week has set up an exciting showdown against the defending premiers on Friday night to open the Telstra Premiership Finals series.
The Panthers were beaten just four times all season on their way to claiming the minor premiership, and the Eels own two of those victories over Ivan Cleary's men - winning 22-20 in Round 9 and 34-10 in Round 20.
The Panthers will take on the Eels at 9.50pm Friday.
