Wigan v Castleford: Predicted line-ups and late injury news

Castleford travel to Wigan tonight as both unbeaten clubs go head to head, but how will both sides line up?

Bevan French is expected to return for Adrian Lam’s side, but with Zak Hardaker playing so well at fullback, it will be interesting to see how the Wigan boss fits both into the reckoning. Liam Byrne also returns from suspension in place of Sam Halsall and Thomas Leuluai is included despite struggling with a sternum problem.

Danny Richardson returns for Castleford after missing out last week, while young forward Brad Martin also comes into the side. They replace the suspended Jesse Sene-Lefao and Gareth O’Brien, who picked up a leg injury in the Tigers’ thrashing of Leigh last weekend.
