THIRD travel to fourth as both Wakefield Trinity and Warrington Wolves look to lock down a home play-off eliminator.
Both teams have already confirmed their places in the top six, with third-placed Warrington on a run of six straight wins, and Wakefield ending a sticky patch with victory over York Knights last weekend.
Emre Guler is the only change to Daryl Powell’s Trinity squad, replacing young half Myles Lawford, having been rested for the win over York following a whirlwind 24 hours that saw him land from Australia and make his debut against Wigan.
Wakefield could also have Tom Johnstone and Isiah Vagana back in the fold, with the pair not featuring against the Knights despite having been named in the initial 21-man squad.
Sam Burgess meanwhile has Luke Yates back in contention for the first time since suffering a serious neck injury in May that had been expected to sideline him for the remainder of the season.
Cai Taylor-Wray, Josh Smith, Kelepi Tanginoa and Ben Hartill also return to contention for the trip to the DIY Kitchens Stadium.
Sam Powell serves a one-match suspension, whilst Arron Lindop is undertaking his concussion protocols. Both Joe Philbin and Luke Thomas drop out after pulling up with injuries in the win over Hull FC last week, with Jordan Crowther also missing out.
