THE TEAM NEWS

HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS

• Huddersfield Giants were comfortable victors against Hull KR in their Challenge Cup semi-final last week and will now look to build on that success having stuttered in the league prior to that victory.
• Their win over Wakefield Trinity in their last Super League game was their first in four games and they now face the tough task of coming up against Wigan Warriors without some key men including Chris Hill and Jermaine McGillvary with the pair among those rested.

21-man squad: 3 Jake Wardle, 4 Ricky Leutele, 5 Ashton Golding, 6 Tui Lolohea, 7 Theo Fages, 9 Danny Levi, 10 Michael Lawrence, 13 Luke Yates, 14 Matty English, 15 Joe Greenwood, 17 Owen Trout, 19 Adam O’Brien, 20 Oliver Wilson, 21 Leroy Cudjoe, 22 Louis Senior, 23 Oliver Russell, 24 Oliver Roberts, 25 Innes Senior, 26 Nathan Mason, 27 Jack Ashworth, 29 Sam Hewitt

Unavailable: Will Pryce, Jack Cogger, Sebastine Ikahihifo, Jermaine McGillvary, Chris Hill, Josh Jones, Chris McQueen

WIGAN WARRIORS

• Wigan Warriors continued their excellent run of form as they booked their spot in the Challenge Cup final by upsetting bitter rivals St. Helens last week to make it four straight wins in all competitions.
• The Warriors continue to set the pace in Super League along with Saints with the pair each losing just two of their 11 league games so far this season but they will be without the brilliant Jai Field along with a handful of his teammates with Matty Peet potentially set to hand out as many as three debuts for this game.

21-man squad: 1 Bevan French, 2 Jake Bibby, 4 Iain Thornley, 6 Cade Cust, 8 Brad Singleton, 10 Patrick Mago, 11 Willie Isa, 12 Liam Farrell, 15 Kaide Ellis, 16 Harry Smith, 17 Oliver Partington, 19 Ethan Havard, 22 Joe Shorrocks, 24 Abbas Miski, 25 Sam Halsall, 26 James McDonnell, 27 Umyla Hanley, 28 Brad O’Neill, 30 Matty Nicholson, 34 Logan Astley, 35 Jack Bibby

Unavailable: Kai Pearce-Paul, Thomas Leuluai, Sam Powell, Liam Marshall, John Bateman, Jai Field, Morgan Smithies, Liam Byrne

THE PREDICTION

Huddersfield Giants and Wigan Warriors will do battle in a dress rehearsal of the Challenge Cup final but both teams will be weakened to the ones that feature at Tottenham later in the month. The pair each won their respective Challenge Cup semi-final matchups last week but have opted to take the opportunity to rest some of their key players on the back of those draining affairs. It could open the door for the Giants to spring a surprise but the Warriors should still have enough to get the job done in what is likely to be tough battle through the middle of the pitch.
