Josh Bowden is poised to return after over a year out, while Alex Mellor has overcome injury to feature for Huddersfield. 

Lee Radford has made one change to his 19-man squad after last weekend’s victory over Warrington. Bowden (ACL) could feature, having made his return in a reserve fixture two weeks ago. Jack Buchanan retains his spot, while Jordan Thompson misses out.

Simon Woolford makes just one addition to his squad having named an 18-man squad for last week’s clash with Hull KR. Alex Mellor returns from injury and takes the final place for the Giants.

Messenger’s money-maker: Albert Kelly and Darnell McIntosh to both score anytime is priced at 6/1. 

Hull FC’s 19-man squad: Jamie Shaul, Josh Griffin, Albert Kelly, Marc Sneyd, Scott Taylor, Danny Houghton, Josh Bowden, Dean Hadley, Mark Minichiello, Joe Westerman, Jake Connor, Chris Green, Masi Matongo, Brad Fash, Sika Manu, Mickey Paea, Danny Washbrook, Ratu Naulago, Keiran Buchanan.
