WAKEFIELD TRINITY head coach Daryl Powell has been forced into three changes due to injury and suspension from the 26-24 win over Hull KR last Saturday.
Corey Hall (ankle) and Mason Lino miss out through injury whilst Jazz Tevaga is serving a one-match ban.
Powell has, however, welcomed back Max Jowitt as well as Will Tate and Charlie Abraham.
Meanwhile, Wigan Warriors head coach Matt Peet welcomes back Bevan French and Harry Smith to the squad in place of Tom Forber and Nathan Lowe.
Peet has said French has a “good chance” of featuring after continuing to heal the hamstring injury from which he returned ahead of schedule for Wigan’s Challenge Cup Final win.
