Salford v Huddersfield: 21-man-squad and injury news

Salford Red Devils host Huddersfield Giants on Friday, in what will be Ian Watson’s first visit back to the AJ Bell Stadium since leaving to take the Huddersfield job.

The Red Devils come into the game off the back of a two-match losing run. However, they did win their last “home” match against Wakefield Trinity. The match was played at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.

They also won the last time these sides met at the John Smith’s Stadium. The Red Devils ran out 9-8 winners.

Huddersfield come into the match in a decent run of form, having won their last three matches.

The match kicks off at 7.30pm.
