Wigan v St Helens preview

Wigan coach Shaun Wane has Paul Prescott available again for the Challenge Cup quarter-final against St Helens on Saturday (2.30pm).

The prop was a late withdrawal for the win over Hull KR through injury but has recovered in time to face Saints.

Anthony Gelling is expected to continue on the wing in the absence of Pat Richards after touching down twice against the Robins.

Saints have four players returning to their squad for the trip to the DW Stadium, with Jon Wilkin hoping to make the matchday squad this weekend.

The back-row forward was included in the 19-man party against Wakefield last weekend after a month out with a shoulder injury but did not play.

Half back Gary Wheeler and prop Josh Perry also return from injury lay-offs while Sean Magennis has also been declared fit.

Wigan: Tomkins, Charnley, Goulding, Carmont, Finch, Leuluai, Prescott, McIlorum, Mossop, Hansen, Hock, O'Loughlin, Lima, Farrell, Tuson, Lauaki, Dudson, Gelling, Hughes.

St Helens: Wellens, Shenton, Soliola, Meli, Hohaia, Lomax, Perry, Roby, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Wilkin, Flannery, Laffranchi, Flanagan, Clough, Wheeler, Magennis, Dixon, Makinson, Jones.
