HUDDERSFIELD finally got back on the winning trail last weekend – and now Hull FC will hope to do the same in a battle of Super League’s two basement clubs.

The Black and Whites’ are looking to do the double over their opponents, their last win having come against the Giants in mid-June.

Huddersfield are without Niall Evalds – who failed a HIA in the win over York – with Archie Sykes and Logan Blacker, who has joined Championship side Dewsbury Rams on loan, also dropping out.

Jack Billington, Marshall Land and Matty Hanley all come into the squad, the latter having returned to the Giants ahead of the fixture after a spell away from rugby.

Meanwhile, Hull FC interim boss Andy Last has made two changes from his side’s derby defeat to Hull KR.

Yusuf Aydin is recalled to the squad after completing his head injury protocols, whilst Ben Johnson also returns, the pair replacing Matty Laidlaw and Will Hutchinson.
