Tuesday 29th September, 19:45, Super League Round 14, AJ Bell Stadium, Salford, Wigan Warriors versus St Helens Match Preview

It was supposed to be the first game played at the DW Stadium and in front of fans, but this fixture has since been moved to Salford’s home. That shouldn’t make it any less spicy though with both sides fighting for a top four place. Saints have won all six of their league games since the resumption with the Warriors winning five. That has left Wigan occupying second and Saints third.

Wigan Warriors

Wigan boss Adrian Lam has made ten changes as the Warriors look forward to a cup semi-final appearance at the weekend. Youngsters Umyla Hanley, Kai Pearce-Paul, Ben Kilner and Sam Halsall make the 21-man squad for the first time with Dom Manfredi, Joe Bullock and Jake Shorrocks all returning from injury.
