The Warriors are boosted by the return of experienced winger Liam Marshall, who comes back into the side on the right wing in place of youngster Jacob Douglas, who has been named as 18th man.
Christian Wade, who made a try-scoring Super League debut in last week’s win over Huddersfield Giants, has retained his spot on the left wing, partnering England centre Jake Wardle.
The only other change for Wigan sees young prop Harvie Hill come back into the action after serving his two-match suspension. He replaces fellow academy product Harvey Makin, who made his first-team debut last weekend.
