THE TEAM NEWS
LEIGH CENTURIONS
- Leigh Centurions produced arguably their best display of the season so far as they pushed reigning champions St. Helens all the way last time out but they ultimately fell short once again to remain winless on their return to Super League.
- The Centurions still have a lengthy list of unavailable players but with a long turnaround since their last outing, head coach John Duffy will hope his side can build on their showing against Saints in what is another tough contest against Wigan Warriors.
21-man squad: Bell, Brierley, Ellis, Gee, Gelling, Gerrard, Hellewell, Hood, Ioane, Mason, McCarthy, Mullen, Peats, Peteru, Reynolds, Russell, Sa’u, Thompson, Thornley, Tierney, Wildie
Unavailable: Tom Spencer, Brendan Elliot, Blake Wallace, Joe Mellor, Adam Sidlow, Keenan Brand, Ben Flower

WIGAN WARRIORS
- Wigan Warriors suffered their first loss of the season as they were outplayed by Hull FC in last week’s Challenge Cup quarter-final contest and they will be eager to put that defeat behind them with a big performance in this clash with Leigh Centurions.
- The Warriors boast a 100% record in the league so far this year and having already defeated the Centurions in their opening game of the season, they will be confident of making an immediate return to winning ways and remain unbeaten in the league.
21-man squad: Bateman, Bibby, Bullock, Byrne, Clark, Farrell, French, Halsall, Hanley, Hardaker, Hastings, Havard, Isa, Manfredi, Partington, Pearce-Paul, Powell, Shorrocks, Singleton, Smith, Smithies
Unavailable: Liam Marshall, Dom Manfredi, Oliver Gildart, Jai Field, Tommy Leuluai, Tony Clubb

THE PREDICTION
Leigh Centurions have lost all of their matches so far this season and things do not get any easier for them as they host a Wigan Warriors outfit with a 100% record in Super League. There is a huge contrast between the two teams and that could show here unless the Centurions can muster a big performance. They will hope to catch the Warriors off guard following a long break between matches while Wigan have the disappointment of last week’s Challenge Cup exit hanging over them. However, the away side will have a point to prove after that and they should be able to respond by winning this by at least ten points.
