The game had been scheduled for 5pm on the following Saturday but has been moved at the request of broadcasters Sky Sports.

Warriors, in fifth, trail third-placed FC by four points and the match could prove vital if Adrian Lam's side are to climb into the top-three.

Wigan have no game next weekend but Hull play on the Saturday against Warrington in a Challenge Cup semi-final, meaning they will have a short turnaround before facing Lam's side.
