Wigan Warriors are seeking their third win on the bounce when Hull FC visit the DW Stadium on Sunday.
The engage Super League champions are unbeaten in the league so far, following up the opening day draw with St Helens by beating both Bradford Bulls and Salford City Reds.
Hull's campaign got off to a torrid start, with three successive defeats - to Hull KR, Leeds Rhinos and Huddersfield Giants.
But they finally got going last weekend with their first win of the season against Crusaders and they will be attempting to rise up the table with another success in Greater Manchester.
Team news
Wigan, who did the double over Hull last term, are set to recall winger Amos Roberts after he recovered from the slight knee injury that kept him out of last week's win at Salford.
That is likely to be the only change, with Stefan Marsh continuing to deputise for the absent Martin Gleeson. Prop Jeff Lima will make his home debut.
Hull will give a debut to former Wigan full-back Cameron Phelps, with Richard Whiting reverting to centre at the expense of Jordan Turner.
Richard Horne and Sam Obst will continue their half-back partnership in the continuing absence of Sean Long.
Wigan: S. Tomkins, Goulding, Carmont, Deacon, Leuluai, McIlorum, Coley, Hansen, J. Tomkins, O'Loughlin, Prescott, Lima, Hoffman, Roberts, Mossop, Farrell, Tuson, Marsh, Charnley.
Hull: T. Briscoe, Dowes, Fitzgibbon, Horne, Houghton, Lauaki, Lyne, Manu, Moa, Obst , O'Meley, Phelps, Radford, Sharp, Tickle, Washbrook, Westerman, Whiting, Yeaman.
