THE TEAM NEWS
ST. HELENS
- St. Helens highlighted what a champion team they are as they outclassed Catalans Dragons in their Challenge Cup tie last week to book their spot in the semi-finals which was perfect preparation for this top of the table clash with local rivals Wigan Warriors.
- Saints turned it on when it mattered as they made it three straight wins, building on their Super League nilling of Leeds Rhinos in their prior contest but they will come into this without two of their second row with Curtis Sironen copping a ban to join Sione Mata’utia on the sidelines.
21-man squad: 1 Jack Welsby, 2 Tommy Makinson, 3 Will Hopoate, 4 Mark Percival, 6 Jonny Lomax, 7 Lewis Dodd, 8 Alex Walmsley, 9 James Roby, 10 Matty Lees, 12 Joe Batchelor, 13 Morgan Knowles, 14 Joey Lussick, 15 Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, 17 Agnatius Paasi, 19 Jake Wingfield, 20 James Bell, 22 Ben Davies, 23 Konrad Hurrell, 24 Dan Norman, 26 Sam Royle, 27 Jonathan Bennison
Unavailable: Regan Grace, Sione Mata’utia, Curtis Sironen

WIGAN WARRIORS
- Wigan Warriors had to show some real character last week after Wakefield Trinity put them under some real pressure in their Challenge Cup quarter-final clash but the Warriors were able to eventually come away with a comfortable victory.
- That is now four straight wins in all competitions but Matty Peet’s side but he has been dealt a blow this week with Zak Hardaker dropping out for disciplinary reasons while Iain Thornley suffered a shoulder injury against Trinity so there will be changes to the three-quarter line for this contest.
21-man squad: 1 Bevan French, 2 Jake Bibby, 6 Cade Cust, 7 Thomas Leuluai, 8 Brad Singleton, 9 Sam Powell, 10 Patrick Mago, 11 Willie Isa, 12 Liam Farrell, 13 John Bateman, 14 Morgan Smithies, 16 Harry Smith, 17 Oliver Partington, 19 Ethan Havard, 20 Liam Byrne, 22 Joe Shorrocks, 23 Jai Field, 24 Abbas Miski, 25 Sam Halsall, 26 James McDonnell, 28 Brad O’Neill
Unavailable: Kaide Ellis, Kai Pearce-Paul, Liam Marshall, Iain Thornley, Zak Hardaker

THE PREDICTION
St. Helens and Wigan Warriors renew their long-standing rivalry as they come into this traditional Good Friday clash with just points difference separating the two teams at the top of the table. The pair have each lost just one of their matches in all competitions so far this season which sets this clash up nicely. Saints start as favourites however and look set to justify that with their pack likely to get the better of their opposite numbers. With Wigan also being forced to field a makeshift three-quarter line, Saints should prove to be too strong across the field and the hosts can cover the -9.5 handicap in this one to make it four successive victories against the Warriors.
