THE TEAM NEWS
WIGAN WARRIORS
- Wigan Warriors suffered a third consecutive loss as they produced another woeful display with the ball and they are now coming under increasing pressure to end their poor run of form.
- The Warriors have now managed to score just 14 points in their last three outings and while they will be boosted by the return of Jackson Hastings and Liam Farrell from international duty, there is still a long list of unavailable players for the Cherry and Whites to overcome.
20-man squad: Bibby, Bullock, Byrne, Clark, Farrell, Gildart, Hanley, Hastings, Havard, Isa, Leuluai, Marshall, McDonnell, O’Neill, Partington, Pearce-Paul, Powell, Shorrocks, Smith, Smithies
Unavailable: Jai Field, Tony Clubb, Bevan French, Zak Hardaker, Dom Manfredi, Brad Singleton, John Bateman

WARRINGTON WOLVES
- Warrington Wolves were still too good for Leigh Centurions despite missing a host of players to international duty and they will be in a buoyant mood having scored 44 points in that game, especially with their squad being boosted significantly for this top four contest.
- Warrington have now won their last five Super League matches while they have amassed 352 points in their 11 games so far this season, although an injury to scrum half Gareth Widdop is a blow and may impact their ability to post points in this encounter.
21-man squad: Akauola, Austin, Butler, Charnley, D. Clark, J. Clark, Cooper, Currie, Davis, Doro, Hill, Hughes, Lineham, Longstaff, Mamo, Mulhern, Philbin, Ratchford, Thewlis, Walker, Wrench
Unavailable: Matty Ashton, Greg Inglis, Toby King, Gareth Widdop

THE PREDICTION
Wigan Warriors will be desperate to halt their alarming dip in form
having lost their last three matches. Their issues have stemmed from
being poor with the ball and that will come into focus once again as
they take on an improving Warrington Wolves outfit. The visitors’ have
impressed all year with ball in hand having scored more points than any
other side in the competition and they will be confident of making it
six straight wins against the struggling home side. However, defences
should be on top in this fixture and while the Wolves should still
prevail, there is likely to be no more than 43 points scored in this
contest.
