If the local and historical rivalry wasn’t enough to get these players going then the fact both teams have everything to play for should. This is one of the tightest Super Leagues in recent seasons with just 1 point separating the first three and every team except Castleford still interested in the playoff hunt.

St Helens are as usual involved in the hunt for top spot and go into this game off the back of a 14 game unbeaten run and in there last three games have amassed 168 points and conceded just 28.

The Warriors on the other hand are still reeling from a disappointing 39-22 defeat by Hull KR after beating league leaders Leeds a fortnight ago. In consistency has been a problem all season for the JJB based side and they need to keep notching up the points to cement a playoff place.

As far as head to head meetings this season St Helens have had the edge winning both encounters convincingly. In fact the aggregate score for the two previous matches 103-26 in favour of the Saints.

Still Wigan have shown they can beat the best the win over the Rhinos pays testament to that. But Brian Nobles side seems to have a block when it comes to playing there rivals and expect the Saints to come out on top again.
