The Warriors are expected to field a familiar lineup, with just one change to their 21-man squad. Jacob Douglas comes in to replace Sam Eseh Jr., who has departed on loan once again. Meanwhile, the Leopards have a slight injury concern with star stand-off Matt Moylan rated as a 50/50 chance to play after missing the previous game due to a knock.
Leigh Leopards, who have been on a roll with consecutive victories, will be looking to continue their winning streak and further solidify their play-off aspirations. According to a team spokesperson, “We know Wigan Warriors are a tough side, but we are confident in our abilities and believe we can come away with a positive result.”
On the other hand, Wigan Warriors are well aware of the challenge that awaits them in the form of the in-form Leigh Leopards.

It’s going to be a tough test, but we are ready for the challenge.”
