Wigan and Warrington have both announced their 21-man squads for Wednesday night’s round 12 clash at the DW Stadium (KO 7:45pm).

The Warriors come into the game on the back of three straight defeats for the first time since 2019, which have included losses to Hull KR and Wakefield.

The Wolves, meanwhile, will be high on confidence having blitzed Leigh 44-18 last week, after edging out champions St Helens 6-2 the week before.

The game will be available to watch live on Sky Sports Arena, with coverage starting from 7:30pm.

Wigan Warriors

Liam Farrell and Jackson Hastings return after playing in the England v Combined Nations All-Stars game on Friday. John Bateman also featured in that match but picked up an ankle problem and so is unavailable, while Dom Manfredi is out with a knee injury, after announcing that it has forced him to retire at the end of the season. Bevan French will now miss the rest of 2021 with a hamstring issue, while Zak Hardaker has completed his suspension but misses out with a neck injury.
