THE TEAM NEWS
CATALANS DRAGONS
- Catalans Dragons made a real statement as their strong start to the Super League campaign continued by handing reigning champions St. Helens their first defeat of the season thanks to an impressive display last week.
- The French outfit have won six of their seven games to begin the year but this is another huge test for them as they take on league leaders Wigan Warriors, a side they have beaten in just one of their last 13 meetings.
21-man squad: Bousquet, Chan, Da Costa, Davies, Dezaria, Drinkwater, Dudson, Garcia, Goudemand, Jullien, Kasiano, Laguerre, Langi, Le Cam, Maloney, McIlorum, McMeeken, Mourgue, J. Tomkins, S. Tomkins, Whare

WIGAN WARRIORS
- Wigan Warriors were far from their best but showed their ability to win despite their lacklustre performance as they needed a Jackson Hastings drop goal to hand them the narrowest of wins over Salford Red Devils.
- That success was enough for the Warriors to continue their 100% start to the campaign and leapfrog rivals St. Helens at the top of the standings but they suffered a major injury blow last week with Bevan French copping a hamstring injury that will rule him out for the foreseeable future.
21-man squad: Bateman, Bibby, Bullock, Byrne, Clark, Farrell, Halsall, Hanley, Hardaker, Hastings, Havard, Isa, Leuluai, Manfredi, Partington, Pearce-Paul, Powell, Shorrocks, Singleton, Smith, Smithies
Unavailable: Liam Marshall, Dom Manfredi, Oliver Gildart, Jai Field, Tony Clubb, Bevan French

THE PREDICTION
Catalans Dragons have won back-to-back matches against teams that
will hope to be competing at the top of the table come the end of the
season and they will look to complete the hat-trick as they take on
Wigan Warriors. The away side come into this with a 100% record under
their belt in this season’s Super League and they will hope to keep that
record intact but it will be a tough ask for them with the Dragons also
performing so well. They handed St. Helens their first loss of the year
last week and despite possessing a woeful record against the Warriors,
the hosts can prevail here to extend their excellent start to 2021.
