- Winger David Fusitu'a returns to the squad after missing the last two games in a welcomed boost on the wing.

- Hooker Corey Johnson and forward Ben Littlewood are drafted into the squad after their appearances for Halifax last time out. Littlewood is yet to make his first team debut having been a member of the first team squad throughout this season. 

- Luis Roberts also misses out this week.

- Wigan are unchanged from their midweek clash with Leigh.

- Although he didn't feature against the Leopards, Jai Field is in contention after scoring on his return from injury against Huddersfield last Friday. Harry Smith, who left the field against Leigh, is available for selection.

- Liam Farrell is a step closer to his 400th career game as the Wigan captain is named. He also edges closer to 400 games for Wigan as he pulls on cherry and white for the 15th season.

- A battle of the wingers sees the league's leading try scorer Liam Marshall (20 tries) arrive at AMT Headingley to take on Ash Handley, whose chasing Marshall on 14 tries. Should Marshall score, he'd set a new personal record for tries scored in a single season too.
