Kirmond: Back for Giants
Huddersfield will be looking to close the gap on second-placed Leeds with a fifth victory in a row when they take on Catalans Dragons on Sunday.
The Giants could move within two points of the Rhinos in the engage Super League table if they can maintain their impressive winning streak.
They triumphed 28-10 over Warrington last time out, the first time they have failed to score 30 or more points since being beaten by Castleford at home.
Giants coach Nathan Brown welcomes back second rower Danny Kirmond into his 19-man squad for this weekend.
However, centre Jamahl Lolesi (foot) and forward Andy Raleigh (Achilles) are still missing for the hosts.
Les Catalans have fond memories of travelling to the Galpharm Stadium having won there twice last season.
The French side managed to do the treble over Huddersfield last season, including a 48-0 rout at the Stade Gilbert Brutus in Perpignan.
The Dragons are in decent form themselves, with four wins in their last six outings pushing them firmly into the race for a play-off berth.
They could receive a further boost with the influential trio of Jerome Guisset, Adam Mogg and Jason Croker all set to return from injury.
Huddersfield squad: B. Hodgson, Aspinwall, Brown, D. Hodgson, Fulton, Robinson, Crabtree, Faiumu, D. Griffin, Wild, Finnigan, P. Jackson, Mason, Kirmond, Lawrence, Moore, Cudjoe, Lunt, Sculthorpe.
Catalans Dragons squad: Baile, Bell, Bird, Bosc, Carlaw, Casty, Duport, Elima, Fakir, Ferriol, Gossard, Greenshields, Guisset, McGuire, Mounis, Pelo, Perry, Ryles, Stacul.
