Hull FC v Wigan preview
Hull FC are set to welcome Wigan Warriors to the KC Stadium this Friday night.
After two wins from their opening two games, the Black and Whites suffered a minor setback last time out against Castleford Tigers, with a late drop-goal doing the damage in a 24-31.
Hull will be hoping to return to winning ways, with confidence still high from emphatic victories against Salford Red Devils and Catalan Dragons.
Jamie Shaul will be hoping to continue his try-scoring form, having crossed the whitewash six times in four games in all competitions this year. As for the away side, they will be looking to maintain their 100% start to the Super League season.
Despite three tough fixtures against Huddersfield Giants, Catalans and Salford, the Warriors are one of two teams who have managed to win all three so far this season alongside Warrington.
Lee Radford has only made one change to the 19-man squad that was named for Castleford last week. Curtis Naughton has been called up to the first-team squad to replace Jordan Abdull whilst Mahe Fonua is still unavailable due to injury.
Wigan will be without England internationals Tomkins and McIlorum, Michael McIlorum has been ruled out for the season for the Warriors and Sam Tomkins is yet to make his first appearance of 2016. England winger Josh Charnley is set to return for Wigan.
HULL FC: Bowden, Ellis, Green, Houghton, Logan, Manu, Michaels, Minichiello, Naughton, Pritchard, Pryce, Shaul, Sneyd, Talanoa, Taylor, Thompson, Tuimavave, Washbrook, Watts.
