MARK APPLEGARTH, perhaps unsurprisingly, has named the same 21-man squad that went on to overcome Huddersfield Giants at the Magic Weekend.

The Knights, chasing a third successive Super League win, are still without Sam Wood, serving the second of a two-match suspension, and Jesse Dee, who remains stood down on head injury protocols.

Hull FC boss Andy Last, meanwhile, has made three changes to the side that went down to neighbours Hull KR.

Harvey Barron returns having completed his head injury protocols, Ethan O’Neill comes back in after recovering from a hamstring issue, and Yusuf Aydin is available for selection having completed his six-game suspension.

The trio replace Davy Litten (head), Will Hutchinson, and Jeremiah Mata’utia, who has returned to Leeds following the end of his loan spell.
