Huddersfield Giants welcome Hull FC to the Johns Smith Stadium tonight, with both teams looking to make it three wins on the spin.

The team news in now in, and all eyes will be on Giants full-back Jake Connor as he faces his former side.

Huddersfield have named an unchanged 17-man-squad from their win over Wakefield before the Challenge Cup break, which allows Jake Connor, Olly Russell, Tui Lolohea and Adam Milner to again combine in the Giants spine.

Jermain McGillvary will be looking to score his 250th try tonight, and he features on the wing. He forms a formidable backline alongside Sam Halsall, Jake Bibby and Kevin Naiqama.

Turning attention to the pack, Chris Hill and Olly Wilson combine again up front, and Chris McQueen will look to carry on his stellar form of late as he is included in the side.

For the Black and Whites, they are ravaged by injuries at the moment and will be without many frontline players such as Tex Hoy; however their 17 man squad includes the crucial half-back pairing of Jake Clifford and Jake Trueman.

Elsewhere for the Airlie Birds, Adam Swift features in an exciting backline alongside the likes of Liam Sutcliffe and Darnell McIntosh.

In the pack, Brad Fash and Ligi Sao feature from the off, and the powerful Chris Satae is included on the bench.

Full 17 man squads:
