Round 20 of the Betfred Super League sees Leeds Rhinos and Salford Red Devils meet at The Salford Stadium, kick off 5.30pm, as both sides continue their fight for a place in the top six of the table.

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

Red Devils

In brief

- One change for Paul Rowley's side sees Chris Atkin replace Cade Cust in a straight half back swap. Atkin is in line to make his 100th Salford appearance having debuted for the club against Leeds in 2020.

- Tim Lafai and Joe Shorrocks can also achieve career milestone against the Rhinos. Lafai needs one appearance to hit 250 career games, whilst Shorrocks is one game away from 100 career games.

- Nene Macdonald, Kallum Watkins and Brad Singleton face their former club. Watkins and Singleton won multiple silverware in blue and amber, including the treble in 2015.

- Jack Ormondroyd, Ben Hellewell and Matty Foster are sidelined with injury.


Rhinos

In brief

- Two changes for the Rhinos sees Justin Sangare and Mickael Goudemand come back into contention as they look to break back into the team after injury.

- Sangare has missed the last three games with a knee injury, whilst Goudemand has recovered from a shoulder to be in the 21 man squad.

- Ben Littlewood and Sam Eseh drop out of the side. Eseh has recalled to Wigan for their game against Huddersfield this week.

- Former Salford players Brodie Croft and Andy Ackers take on their previous club after moving to Leeds for the 2024 season.
