Seventh-placed Port Adelaide has hit form and will be quietly confident of an upset win over the ladder-leaders, having win its past three matches on the bounce.

The Saints have named an unchanged line-up to take on the Power, with Jack Billings to spend more time in the VFL as he works his way back from injury.

Key spearhead Charlie Dixon is back for Port with Todd Marshall out with concussion, while Jase Burgoyne has also been included. Captain Tom Jonas will miss the game as he serves a one-match suspension for a bump on Jai Culley last week. Kane Farrell will also miss with a broken cheekbone.
