Warrington Wolves host Hull FC in the first of two Super League fixtures on Saturday evening and this is how both sides line up.
Each side had contrasting fortunes in last weekend’s Challenge Cup quarter-finals, with Warrington beating St Helens 20-12 and Hull FC losing 32-16 to cross-city rivals Hull KR.
A Wolves win would see them leapfrog over Hull FC in the table after the away side fell a couple of places last night, due to Wigan Warriors and St Helens winning.
A Hull FC win would take them a point clear of the rest in second and just one point away from Hull KR at the top, making next week’s Good Friday derby an even bigger match-u.
Following the 21-man team news, here’s how both sides line up for Saturday’s game.
