WIGAN WARRIORS host Leeds Rhinos at the DW Stadium on Friday night with both sides hoping to get back on the horse.
Wigan went down 14-10 to Hull FC last weekend in a Super League shock with a number of players off colour to say the least in a defeat that stopped the Warriors going from top.
Leeds, meanwhile, went down 22-12 at home to the Salford Red Devils in a dreadful affair.
Team news and injuries
Wigan will still be without Jai Field and Kaide Ellis whilst Liam Marshall is battling an abdominal injury. Ryan Hampshire could make his second debut for the Warriors, with Cade Cust and Willie Isa back in.
Leeds, meanwhile, will be without Aidan Sezer and Jack Sinfield with a new halfback partnership set to take to the field. Derrell Olpherts is set to return from injury whilst Luis Roberts is also included, though James McDonnell is injured.
