Leeds v Wigan
Date: Saturday, 5 April Kick-off: 1800 BST Venue: Headingley Carnegie
Coverage: Live commentary on BBC Radio Leeds
Leeds are without stand-off Danny McGuire and second rower Jamie Jones-Buchanan, who both picked up injuries in the win at St Helens.
But forward Carl Ablett returns and so will winger Lee Smith if he recovers from illness.
Stand-off Trent Barrett, who missed the win over Wakefield with a knee injury, remains a doubt for Wigan. So former Leeds player full-back Richard Mathers is preparing to continue in the makeshift role.
Leeds: Webb, Donald, Senior, Smith, Burrow, Leuluai, Diskin, Peacock, Ellis, Sinfield, Lauitiiti, Bailey, Scruton, Ablett, Tansey, Hall, Burgess, Kaye, Worrall. Wigan: Mathers, Calderwood, Goulding, Carmont, Richards, Barrett, Leuluai, Fielden, Higham, Paleaaesina, Bailey, O'Loughlin, Colbon, Coley, Hansen, McIlorum, J. Tomkins, O'Carroll, Coyle.

This one is a lot harder to call than it should be. I think Leeds will win as they are at the moment the best team in the competition by a mile. I think they have peaked a bit too early and were lucky to beat us last weekend. They will hit another brick wall sooner or later and the goons could well be it.
I still think they'll have too much for Wigan though. They claim they will miss "Super Trent" who I have never seen play well in a big game yet, but they have no creativity in the team with him anyway. It'll be quite close but I say Leeds to win by 8 to 12 points in the end after a big effort from Wigan.
