Leeds Rhinos return to Stobart Super League action against Bradford Bulls on Friday after winning their place in the Challenge Cup final.

The Rhinos, who are fifth in the table, stunned Wigan Warriors in last Saturday's semi-final with a 39-28 victory in Huddersfield.

Bradford arrive at Headingley in good form with the beleaguered Bulls a point behind Leeds on the back of three straight league successes.

The Bulls upset Leeds in their Good Friday meeting earlier in the campaign only for the Rhinos to exact revenge when the pair met at the Magic Weekend in Manchester.

Leeds are boosted by the return of veteran full-back Brent Webb, who has recovered from a knee injury suffered in the club's away defeat to the Warrington Wolves.

The New Zealander replaces Carl Ablett in Leeds' squad. Ablett has been operating in the centres of late, however, a hamstring injury curtails his availability.

Change

The only other change to Leeds' 19-man squad is Richard Moore comes in for Chris Clarkson.

Ryan Hall is set to make his 150th appearance for Leeds in the contest while Danny McGuire is three tries short of equalling Keith Senior's all-time Super League try-scoring record.

Bradford have a double injury boost ahead of their short trip across West Yorkshire with Jarrod Sammut and Olivier Elima both in the Bulls' squad.

The duo both sat out Bradford's convincing win over the London Broncos last time out on July 8th, but are fit and available for Potter.

However, Bradford will be without rising star John Bateman as the teenager has flown to Australia to captain England's Academy tour.

Leeds: Webb, Jones-Bishop, Watkins, Hardaker, Hall, McGuire, Burrow, Leuluai, Peacock, Jones-Buchanan, Sinfield, Delaney, Bailey, Kirke, Hauraki, Griffin, Moore, Ward, Lunt.

Bradford: Ainscough, O'Brien, Lulia, Whitehead, Addy, Burgess, Jeffries, C Walker, Hargreaves, Olbison, L'Estrange, Pryce, Platt, Sammut, Gale, Langley, Kearney, Elima, Manuokafoa.
