Broncos coach Tony Rea welcomes back Antonio Kaufusi (suspension), new skipper Tony Clubb, Michael Channing and Chris Melling (all injuries) into the squad as his rock bottom side look to bounce back from a 46-18 Magic Weekend defeat to Catalan Dragons.
Luke Dorn also looks set for the game after he missed out with a slight knock last weekend, while Mike Bishay could again be in line for his Super League debut if selected.
Rea told the club's website: "Antonio Kaufusi has been out for two games and Tony Clubb has been out working hard since his injury and they are very important to that middle section.
"Luke Dorn comes back into the squad so we've got three senior blokes coming back in. It's an exciting group to be working with.
"We've picked up quite a few bumps and we have injuries to Dan Sarginson, David Howell and Jamie O'Callaghan, these players should be back in 1-2 games while Tommy Lee could be back within three weeks."
Castleford boss Daryl Powell has meanwhile named an unchanged 19-man squad for the match after the third-from-bottom Tigers beat Wakefield Wildcats 49-24 in Manchester.
He said: "It was a pretty encouraging performance (against Wakefield) - there were lots of positives in there. I don't see any reason why I would change that (the squad).
"We're looking for some consistency in what we are doing and we've got a great opportunity this week."
London Broncos: Bailey, Bishay, Bryant, Channing, Clubb, Cook, Dixon, Dorn, Fisher, Gower, Kaufusi, Krasniqi, McMeeken, Melling, Mendeika, Robertson, Rodney, Wheeldon, Witt.
Castleford: Owen, Carney, Shenton, Dixon, Chase, Ellis, Walker, Clark, Huby, Hauraki, Millington, Milner, Massey, Holmes, Thompson, Tansey, Fleming, Mason, Boyle.
