THE TEAM NEWS
CATALANS DRAGONS
- An under-strength Catalans Dragons side stunned Warrington Wolves last week to make it three straight wins in Super League and this will be another stern test for them as they host the unbeaten Wigan Warriors.
- The Dragons were able to fend off a late fightback to claim an eye-catching victory and they have received a significant boost this week as Sam Tomkins, Michael McIlorum, Gil Dudson, Dean Whare and Joe Chan all return to the squad.
21-man squad: 2 Tom Davies, 3 Samisoni Langi, 4 Dean Whare, 5 Fouad Yaha, 6 Mitchell Pearce, 7 Josh Drinkwater, 8 Gil Dudson, 9 Michael McIlorum, 11 Matt Whitley, 12 Mike McMeeken, 13 Ben Garcia, 14 Alrix Da Costa, 15 Benjamin Jullien, 16 Paul Seguier, 17 Mickael Goudemand, 19 Arthur Romano, 20 Tyrone May, 23 Jordan Dezaria, 27 Joe Chan, 28 Sam Kasiano, 29 Sam Tomkins
Unavailable: Arthur Morgue, Julian Bousquet, Dylan Napa, Matthieu Laguerre

WIGAN WARRIORS
- Wigan Warriors were given a huge scare as they were pushed all the way by bottom side Toulouse last week and they needed a last-gasp field goal to seal the victory having fought their way back from a half-time deficit.
- The Warriors will need to vastly improve on last week’s performance if they are to make it back-to-back wins in France while also retaining their 100% record for the season but they are likely to have Tommy Leuluai back in the halves for this contest after he was rested against Toulouse.
21-man squad: 2 Jake Bibby, 3 Zak Hardaker, 5 Liam Marshall, 6 Cade Cust, 7 Tommy Leuluai, 8 Brad Singleton, 9 Sam Powell, 10 Patrick Mago, 11 Willie Isa, 12 Liam Farrell, 13 John Bateman, 14 Morgan Smithies, 15 Kaide Ellis, 16 Harry Smith, 17 Oliver Partington, 20 Liam Byrne, 21 Kai Pearce-Paul, 22 Joe Shorrocks, 23 Jai Field, 24 Abbas Miski, 28 Brad O’Neill

THE PREDICTION
This is an extremely intriguing Super League clash as Catalans Dragons host Wigan Warriors. The Dragons overcame a plethora of absentees to earn a shock win over Warrington Wolves last week which made it three straight wins while Wigan Warriors almost blew their perfect start to the season as they stuttered their way to victory over the winless Toulouse. That may have acted as a warning for Wigan but with Catalans boosted by the return of a few key men including Sam Tomkins and Michael McIlorum, the French side look set to end the visitors’ unbeaten start to the season.
