Next Up: Wigan Warriors

As Magic Weekend draws closer, Leeds Rhinos welcome Wigan Warriors to AMT Headingley in round 21 of the Betfred Super League as Brad Arthur's side return home after away trips to Huddersfield and Salford.
Fans have had to wait most of the season to see two of the competition's biggest rivals meet, and Saturday's clash isn't set to disappoint as blue and amber clash with cherry and white.
Here's a preview ahead of the fixture:
Our opposition
Three games in nine days sees Wigan Warriors come to AMT Headingley after taking on Huddersfield last Thursday night and Leigh Leopards mid-week in a rearranged round two affair. The trip to Leeds is also the first of two meetings between the clubs before the end of the season as Leeds make the return trip to the Brick Community Stadium in the penultimate game of the regular season.
Matt Peet has put his name amongst Wigan folklore as he became the second coach in the club's history to guide the team to hold the Challenge Cup, Grand Final, League Leaders' Shield and World Club titles all at the same time. It's the first time since St Helens completed the feat between 2006 and 2007 too.
Although they started the year as the league's in-form side, boosted by their World Club triumph over NRL Premiers Penrith Panthers, recent form has pushed the Warriors into a fight at the top of the league table with Warrington Wolves and Hull KR. Back to back losses to Sam Burgess' Wolves and Hull FC saw Wigan lose their advantage over the league with a game in hand to go level on 28 points with the Wolves and Robins.
Liam Marshall has been Wigan's main attacking threat as he leads the league in tries scored, and with superstars Jai Field and Bevan French returning from injuries over the coming weeks, Peet will hope to steer his side towards back to back Grand Final titles; a feat that hasn't been done since the 90s.
