Hawthorn forward Jack Gunston is set to take his place against Geelong on Sunday.

Gunston missed last week's win over Fremantle with a minor leg injury, but will re-join the line-up as the side looks to post its third consecutive win.

The Cats currently sit two games clear on top of the ladder, despite losing two of their last four games.

Watch: Hawthorn launches its RAP

Midfielder Daniel Howe has been left out of this week's side.

Hawthorn will meet Geelong at the MCG on Sunday at 1.10pm.
