Wigan are set to be unchanged for Saturday's clash with Harlequins at the Stoop.
The Warriors kept their play-off hopes alive with victory over top six rivals Huddersfield last week and coach Brian Noble has named the same 20-man squad.
Noble told the club's website: "We have trained well and everyone is healthy so we are looking forward to it. We know it's a huge game for us against Harlequins. For both teams it could be make or break for a top six spot.
"I think they have lost three on the bounce which can be difficult to get out of and they will be looking to grind out a result. They will be very determined. I know their coach he is a pretty good bloke and we are expecting a tough tussle."
After being hit by a four-point deduction, the Warriors may need to win their last five games to earn a post-season spot but skipper Stuart Fielden insists the dream remains very much alive.
"We believe we can still end up in the top six," he said. "We will do all we can in the remaining games to try and make the play-Offs."
Harlequins 20-man squad: Bannister, Clubb, Gafa, Grayshon, Hill, Hopkins, Mbu, McLinden, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Melling, Orr, Paul, Purdham, Randall, Rinaldi, R. Sheriffe, T. Smith, Sykes, Temata, Wells.
Wigan 20-man squad: Ashton, Calderwood, Bailey, Richards, Barrett, Leuluai, Fielden, Higham, Paleaaesina, Hock, Fletcher, O'Loughlin, Vaealiki, Millard, Prescott, Hansen, Goulding, Colbon, O'Carroll, Mcllorum.
