Both Catalan Dragons and Huddersfield welcome back key players for Saturday's clash at Stade Gilbert Brutus.
Winger Frederic Vaccari, centre Daryl Millard and second rower Steve Menzies are all fit to return for the home team.
However, coach Trent Robinson is unable to call upon centre or second rower Setaimata Sa, who has a rib injury.
Prop Sebastien Martins and centre Mathias Pala have been left out of the 19-man squad as the Dragons look to make it six straight games without defeat.
They had been on a four-match winning run but failed to extend it last time out as they were held at home to an 8-8 draw by Bradford in a match that was ruined by heavy rain in the south of France.
Huddersfield, meanwhile, are able to call upon the services of Luke Robinson, who has recovered from a rib injury.
The hooker is joined in the squad by Leroy Cudjoe, Lee Gilmour, Larne Patrick, Graeme Horne and Jamie Simpson, who all missed the comfortable home win over Salford on Tuesday night.
Youngsters Joe Wardle, Jon Molloy, Kyle Wood and Jamie Cording - who scored his first try for the club against the City Reds - all make way.
The Giants - who currently top the table - won both fixtures between the two sides last season, including a 26-12 triumph in Perpignan.
Catalan squad: Blanch, Farrar, Stacul, Bosc, Dureau, Ferriol, Henderson, Casty, Menzies, Raguin, Mounis, Baile, Millard, Vaccari, Simon, Fakir, Baitieri, Pelissier, Touxagas.
Huddersfield squad: Grix, Lawrence, Cudjoe, Gilmour, Hodgson, Brown, Brough, Crabtree, Robinson, Griffin, O'Donnell, Faiumu, Lunt, Raleigh, Patrick, Horne, McGillvary, Simpson, Ferguson.
