HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS will take on Hull FC at the John Smith’s Stadium on Thursday night, live on Sky Sports.
Both sides have had a week off following the Challenge Cup semi-finals, with Huddersfield’s last result in Super League coming in a 34-6 win over Wakefield Trinity.
Hull FC, meanwhile, were able to put Castleford Tigers to the sword in a rather emphatic 36-18 triumph.
Team news and injuries
The Giants will be without Harvey Livett after he dislocated his elbow, but Kevin Naiqama is expected to be fit after leaving the field early against Wakefield with a hamstring issue. Theo Fages and Seb Ikahihifo return in place of Will Pryce and Jack Ashworth.
The Black and Whites boss Tony Smith has brought in Will Gardiner and Zach Jebson who come into the side in place of Carlos Tuimavave (hamstring) and Jamie Shaul (calf). Tex Hoy is still out.
