Wakefield will be without strike partnership Tom Johnstone and Bill Tupou on Thursday, while Harvey Livett comes into Warrington’s squad.

Chris Chester has made three changes to his Trinity side that beat Hull FC last week. Johnstone (ACL knee), Tupou (knee) and Danny Kirmond (banned) are replaced by Max Jowitt, Jordan Baldwinson and Keegan Hirst.

Ireland international George King is could feature against his old club Warrington and might come up against his younger brother, Toby, for the first time in their careers.
