Hull FC head coach Richard Agar must make two changes ahead of Friday's final home game of the season against Warrington Wolves.
Captain Craig Fitzgibbon has been omitted from the Black and Whites' 19-man squad after suffering an ankle injury during last week's win over Castleford.
Danny Tickle also misses out after picking up a hamstring injury, with Agar unwilling to risk the second rower ahead of the Super League play-offs.
Their absence presents an opportunity for youngsters Liam Kent and Reece Lyne who are both named, whilst Ewan Dowes will be pushing for a recall after being 18th man last time out.
Meanwhile, Warrington can claim the League Leaders Shield with either a win or draw at the KC Stadium.
First team coach Willie Poching told the club's official website: "There's a lot of people saying they (Hull FC) are the form team in the competition at the moment and that's with some just cause. They were very good against Castleford at the weekend and scored some really fantastic tries.
"It's tough going to Hull at any time of year but to go there on a Friday night, last game of the season, there's a lot of emotion. It's a farewell for some players and their coach is leaving at the end of the season so they've got some emotional ties to the game and we'll really need to be on our guard.
"They've already got us once at The Halliwell Jones and they are in a lot better form now than when they got us the first time round so we really need to go there with the intent to play the best we can."
Hull 19-man squad: T. Briscoe, Dowes, Horne, Houghton, Kent, Lauaki, Lyne, Obst, Manu, Moa, O'Meley, Phelps, Radford, Sharp, Turner, Washbrook, Westerman, Whiting, Yeaman.
Warrington 19-man squad: Anderson, Atkins, Blythe, Bridge, Briers, Carvell, Clarke, Cooper, Grix, Harrison, Higham, Hodgson, King, Mitchell, J. Monaghan, M. Monaghan, Myler, Riley, Solomona.
