LEIGH LEOPARDS could welcome Matt Davis back into the fold for Saturday’s Challenge Cup fourth-round clash with Hull FC.

Davis had to sit out Leigh’s defeat to Catalans Dragons last Friday after suffering a head injury the previous week against Wigan Warriors.

The forward replaces AJ Towse, who is yet to play this season, in the only change to Adrian Lam’s squad, which again numbers only 20.

Hull FC have named an unchanged 21-man squad for the first time this season, following a narrow defeat at Wakefield Trinity last time out.
