All of Saturday's Super League team news as Warrington Wolves face Castleford Tigers in the Super 8s and London Bronchos host Leeds Rhinos in the Qualifiers.
Warrington Wolves v Castleford Tigers
Both Warrington Wolves and Castleford Tigers head into this Round 3 off the back of positive victories.
Tony Smith, Warrington's head coach, makes just one change to last week's 19-man squad as Ryan Bailey comes in for Ben Evans.
The former Castleford prop forward is set to face his old team-mates after recovering from a minor knee injury that forced him to sit their last two matches.
Before Saturday afternoon's meeting top spot in the Super 8s remains in Warrington's sights as they're lying just one point behind Hull FC.
For Castleford Frankie Mariano and Will Maher are vying to start and replace injured forward Lee Jewitt, while winger Paddy Flynn also gets a place in his 19-man squad.
Warrington Wolves: Ryan Atkins, Ryan Bailey, Daryl Clark, Ben Currie, Brad Dwyer, Rhys Evans, Kurt Gidley, Chris Hill, Jack Hughes, George King, Toby King, Kevin Penny, Stefan Ratchford, Matty Russell, Chris Sandow, Ashton Sims, Joe Westerman, Ben Westwood, Sam Wild

London Broncos v Leeds Rhinos
London Broncos face a strong test of their form as they host Leeds Rhinos at Trailfinders live on Sky Sports 3 HD.
The hosts have suffered an injury blow with the loss of Ireland international stand-off Api Pewhairangi. Pewhairangi ruptured his patella tendon in their win over Batley and will now miss the remainder of the Super 8s season.
Frenchman William Barthau or Israel Eliab are set to take his place against Leeds Rhinos.
Leeds have called up half-back Jordan Lilley and prop Anthony Mullally in place of their injured duo Rob Burrow and Brad Singleton.
Neither player has featured so far in the Super 8s for the Leeds or on dual registration with Featherstone Rovers. If they both play on Saturday then they will remain with the Rhinos for the remainder of the Super 8s campaign.
