CASTLEFORD TIGERS host the Salford Red Devils at The Jungle on Friday night.
The Tigers secured their third win of the 2023 Super League season at the Magic Weekend, running out 26-24 winners against local rivals Leeds Rhinos.
Salford, meanwhile, put Hull KR to the sword in a 26-16 triumph that underlined their credentials as potential silverware-challengers this year.
Team news and injuries
Castleford have Liam Watts banned for the third time this season following a Grade B Dangerous Contact charge given by the Disciplinary Match Review Panel on Monday. Alex Mellor is out following a head injury sustained last week. Elliot Wallis and Bureta Faraimo also drop out.
Salford are still without hooker Andy Ackers following his concussion issue.
