St Helens have named an unchanged squad while Hull FC have made several ahead of Friday’s clash.

Justin Holbrook has named an unchanged St Helens side to the one that beat Widnes Vikings on Easter Monday. Jonny Lomax is expected to return to the side though in place of Matty Smith.

Hull FC coach Lee Radford has named several changes to his side that edged past Wakefield Trinity last time out. Sika Manu is in contention to play after recovering from a calf injury.

Carlos Tuimavave, Jamie Shaul, Jordan Lane and Danny Houghton are all recalled to the squad after being rested for Monday’s game against Wakefield. Youngster Jez Litten retains his spot, while Jack Logan replaces the suspended Bureta Faraimo.

The game takes place at the Totally Wicked Stadium on Friday, 7:45pm kick-off.
