It will mark Warrington head coach Daryl Powell’s first game in charge of his new club with Joe Bullock, Oliver Holmes and Peter Mata’utia expected to debut.
Powell took over the reins from Steve Price who left after four years at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, whilst Powell himself had been at Castleford Tigers for almost nine seasons.
Meanwhile, Leeds boss Richard Agar will likely give three debuts to David Fusitu’a, Aidan Sezer and James Bentley as Blake Austin has to serve a one-match suspension following the Rhinos’ victory over Hull FC in Tom Briscoe’s testimonial.
