St Kilda has finalised its team to face Essendon at Marvel Stadium on Sunday.

The Saints have made four changes to the side after the week off with the bye as they look to steady the ship and win their seventh game of the season.

Headlining the changes is Tobie Travaglia, who enters the side for his first game of the season after some strong VFL form over the past month. Joining him in the side are the returning Mattaes Phillipou, Liam Henry and Liam O'Connell, all of which have produced stellar outings alongside Travaglia in the VFL Saints' recent unbeaten run.

Tom De Koning (ribs) and Jack Sinclair (calf) will both exit the side through injury, with Dan Butler (omitted) and Jack Macrae (managed) making up the rest of the changes.

Macrae and Butler will both be named emergencies for the clash alongside ruck Alex Dodson.

The game will be played at 3:15pm AEST on Sunday, and will be broadcast live on 7, Fox Footy and Kayo.
