Wakefield and Catalans Dragons will be looking to keep alive their dreams of reaching Old Trafford when they clash in an elimination play-off.
The two teams know a defeat on Saturday night will end their season, while the winners will go through to the preliminary semi-finals.
The Wildcats won both regular season contests against their opponents, including a 34-20 result on French soil at the start of September.
Coach John Kear is able to recall Brad Drew and Luke George after the pair missed last week's victory over Hull KR.
Dale Morton and James Davey make way from the 19-man squad as Wakefield go in search of a third straight win on home soil.
Fitness test
They will, though, have to give a late fitness test to scrum-half Danny Brough after he picked up a hip injury in last week's 24-10 win over Hull KR.
"Danny is still a doubt and that will obviously have a bearing on the final permutation," said Kear.
However the Dragons will be eager to avenge that home loss suffered at the hands of the Wildcats and go into the game off the back of beating St Helens.
Kevin Walters' side managed a shock 24-12 result at the GPW Recruitment Stadium to claim the eighth and final place in the Super League play-offs.
"Any team that has got (Adam) Mogg and (Thomas) Bosc at half-back, Greenshields at full-back and Greg Bird playing as a lock deserve our utmost respect," Kear said of Wakefield's opponents.
"And any team that can go to St Helens and win when it needs to win heightens your respect for them."
Les Catalans' hopes of another upset on their travels are boosted by the availability of Dane Carlaw, who has recovered from injury.
Shane Perry drops out of the 19-man squad while Jamal Fakir, Steven Bell, Gregory Mounis, Cyril Stacul and Jason Croker are all ruled out.
Wakefield squad: Blaymire, Atkins, Brough, Demetriou, Drew, Snitch, Wilkes, Grix, Obst , Stosic, Henderson, Winternstein, Leo-Latu, Korkidas, Ferguson, Moore, George, Murphy, Bibb.
Catalans Dragons squad: Baile, Bentley, Bird, Bosc, Carlaw, Casty, Duport, Elima, Ferriol, Gossard, Greenshields, Guisset, Martins, McGuire, Mogg, Pelo, Raguin, Ryles, Touxagas.
