Match Pack: Round Nineteen

Thursday night Rugby League sees Leeds Rhinos head to Huddersfield to take on the Giants at the John Smith's Stadium, kick off 8pm, live on Sky Sports.

The Rhinos aim to break a three-year losing streak on the road against the Giants, whilst Luke Robinson's Huddersfield side look to build on their first win since May last time out against Salford.

Ahead of the teams taking to the field, here is your snapshot preview of everything you need to know about the two teams:


21-man squad recap

Giants

In brief

- Changes for the Giants sees Luke Robinson welcome back Thomas Deakins from a HIA, and Connor Carr could make his first appearance of the year.

- All six try scorers who got the win for the Giants at AMT Headingley earlier in the season are named, along with former Rhinos players Ash Golding and Tui Lolohea.

- Jake Connor is in line to make his 250th career appearance against the Rhinos tonight. Since making his debut with the Giants back in 2013, the full back has played 95 times over two spells at the club, as well as 142 times for Hull FC. He also has been capped eight times for England (5 caps) and Great Britain (3 caps)

- Oliver Wilson is out of the remainder of the season in a blow to the Giants forwards. Darius Carter also drops out from last week's 21 man squad.


Rhinos

In brief

- Leeds make one change to the side that lost out to Hull KR last time out.

- Back rower Ben Littlewood comes back into the squad in place of David Fusitu'a, who is ruled out through injury.

- The remainder of the squad is the same, so James Bentley gets another shot at making the matchday squad for the first time since the Castleford win back in March.

- Mickael Goudemand (shoulder) and Justin Sangare (knee) remain out along with Tom Holroyd and Morgan Gannon.
