WIGAN WARRIORS FORM: WARRIORS SUFFER SHOCK LOSS

Wigan suffered a first defeat since April as they went down to Hull FC last week. In a game the Warriors were expected to run out comfortable victors, it was a surprising result and one they will be desperate to bounce back from.

LAST FIVE: WWWWL

WARRINGTON WOLVES FORM: WIRE DIG DEEP TO CLAIM BRILLIANT WIN

When James Harrison was given his marching orders with just 20 minutes on the clock, Warrington head coach Sam Burgess must have feared the worst but his side showed superb character to see off St. Helens and make it four successive victories.

LAST FIVE: LWWWW

WIGAN WARRIORS TEAM NEWS: LEEMING BACK

Just one change for Wigan with Kruise Leeming returning to the squad in place of youngster Taylor Kerr. That means the Warriors are still without key duo Bevan French and Jai Field.

21-MAN SQUAD: Miski, Keighran, Wardle, Marshall, Smith, Havard, O’Neill, Byrne, Farrell, Ellis, Mago, Thompson, Leeming, Dupree, Hill, Nsemba, Walters, Hampshire, Eckersley, Douglas, Farrimond

WARRINGTON WOLVES TEAM NEWS: WIRE WITHOUT HARRISON

Following his red card last week, Harrison has been banned and will be joined on the sidelines by Stefan Ratchford having suffered a facial fracture last week. In better news, Toby King, Josh Thewlis, Lachlan Fitzgibbon and Jordy Crowther are all back in contention.

21-MAN SQUAD: Ashton, Crowther, Currie, Drinkwater, Dufty, Fitzgibbon, Holroyd, King, Lindop, Musgrove, Nicholson, Powell, Tai, Taylor-Wray, Thewlis, Vaughan, Walker, Whitehead, Wood, Williams, Yates

WIGAN WARRIORS VS WARRINGTON WOLVES PREDICTION

Wigan Warriors will be desperate to right the wrongs of last week’s shock loss but with their star pairing still sidelined, they could find it tough going against Warrington Wolves. The away side showed their character as well as quality to see off St. Helens last week and having proven so tough to beat of late, they make real appeal here.

WIGAN WARRIORS VS WARRINGTON WOLVES TIP: WARRINGTON WOLVES +6.5
