Leeds v Hull FC: 21-man squads, injury update and TV details

Leeds and Hull FC have both announced their 21-man squads for Sunday night’s round seven clash at Emerald Headingley Stadium (KO 7:30pm).

The Rhinos snatched a much-needed win against Wakefield last Friday, with Luke Gale’s golden point penalty goal securing only their second victory of the season.

Richard Agar’s side also have the advantage of extra preparation, having had an extra three days’ rest on the Black and Whites.

FC are in the better form, though, with three league wins and two Challenge Cup scalps to their name despite a 27-10 loss to Catalans on Monday.

The game will be available to watch on Sky Sports Arena, with coverage starting at 7:00pm.
