Leeds Rhinos look to return to winning ways in the Betfred Super League in round 23 as they take on Catalans Dragons, who are fighting to keep their place in the top six, at AMT Headingley, kick off 8pm.

Wins are vital for both sides as the conclusion of the season draws closer, with the Rhinos still chasing a spot in the top six. Four points currently separate Leeds and Catalans coming into this week, meaning a win for the home side moves them to within a win of reaching the play offs, whilst a result for the Dragons puts breathing room between them, St Helens and Salford in 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:

- The Rhinos also welcome back young winger Riley Lumb for the first time since he suffered a hamstring injury against London Broncos back at the start of May. 

- Ash Handley and Tom Holroyd will both miss the remainder of the seasons. Handley in particular had surgery on his injured wrist.
