Warrington have recalled six regulars for the trip to Wigan on Friday night.

Steve Price has made six changes to his Warrington outfit that lost to St Helens last week. Daryl Clark, Mike Cooper, Tom Lineham, Jason Clark, Dec Patton and Joe Philbin return to the squad.

Luther Burrell, Riley Dean, Luis Johnson, Pat Moran, Josh Thewlis and Danny Walker drop out for the Wolves.

Wigan coach Adrian Lam has made just one change to his side that beat Hull KR last time out. Chris Hankinson replaces Ben Flower [knee].

The televised Super League match takes place at the DW Stadium on Friday, 7:45pm kick-off.

Drew’s dabble: A try to be scored before 10:00 minutes is 4/5.

Wigan’s 19-man squad: Joe Burgess, Liam Byrne, Liam Clubb, Liam Farrell, Bevan French, Oliver Gildart, Joe Greenwood, Chris Hankinson, Zak Hardaker, Willie Isa, Tommy Leuluai, Liam Marshall, Romain Navarrete, Ollie Partington, Sam Powell, Jarrod Sammut, Dan Sarginson, Morgan Smithies, George Williams.
