Wigan will be aiming to hit arch rivals St Helens for six in the top-of-the-table clash at the DW Stadium on Sunday.
For Michael Maguire's league leaders go into the game on the back of five engage Super League wins on the bounce, the latest a 48-6 trouncing of Wakefield.
But the Warriors must do without influential loose forward Sean O'Loughlin, who has lost his fitness battle after damaging his quad in the win over the Wildcats.
Liam Farrell is expected to take his place in the starting line up as Maguire's side attempt to do the Super League double over their rivals following the 18-10 success at the GPW Recuitment Stadium over Easter.
Saints boosted
Saints are boosted by the return of England duo James Graham and James Roby.
The pair missed the 30-22 victory over Huddersfield last time after being called-up for international duty against France and are the only additions to the side which beat the Giants.
To accommodate the pair, Jake Emmitt has made way, while Gary Wheeler also misses out with a hamstring injury.
