Hull FC vs Wigan Warriors: Kick-off time, TV channel and predicted line-ups

Whenever Hull FC meet Wigan there’s always fireworks.

When they last met only one point could separate the sides giving this battle a real back story but if that wasn’t enough, then the fact Wigan have won eye on the Challenge Cup Final next week as well as a battle for top spot with St Helens to consider in the league, this could be very intriguing game.

So, could Hull FC catch Wigan out as the Warriors dream of Challenge Cup success?

Kick-off time and TV channel

The game kicks off at 15:00.

Sadly, there is no live TV coverage but highlights will be available on Super League’s YouTube channel and BBC’s Super League Show.

Predicted Line-ups

Hull FC
Brett Hodgson will have to make one change with Brad Fash forced out through concussion protocols. Kane Evans is back from injury and could replace Fash at 13. After the defeat to St Helens, Hodgson does have room to shake things up with a promotion from the bench for centre Josh Griffin possible whilst the likes of Adam Swift and Luke Gale are again in the squad after being left out last week.

Wigan Warriors
After resting plenty of players last week, Matt Peet has named almost an identical 21-man squad to the one named for the Challenge Cup semi-final hinting that barring any niggles we could see a similar team to that historic win and a side closely resembling the one Peet plans to name next week with Jai Field at fullback, Bevan French on the wing and Cade Cust in the halves. After missing the semi-final, Willie Isa could feature in place of the suspended Kaide Ellis.
