Wigan Warriors vs Warrington Wolves: Team news, injuries and TV channel as Matt Peet welcomes back key forward

WIGAN WARRIORS host Warrington Wolves at the DW Stadium on Sunday afternoon in the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup.

Wigan go into this one on the back of a disappointing 34-16 loss to local rivals St Helens, with Matt Peet’s men now having lost two games in a row.

Warrington, meanwhile, overcame Huddersfield Giants last weekend to get over the disappointment of losing to Hull FC at the Magic Weekend.

Team news and injuries

Wigan could welcome back forward Ethan Havard following a spell on the sidelines. Havard has replaces Sam Powell in the Warriors’ squad.

Josh McGuire will sit out another game of his 12-match ban after deciding not to lodge an appeal whilst there will be late fitness checks on Joe Philbin and Josh Drinkwater.
