Wigan Warriors take on London Broncos at the Twickenham Stoop in the Stobart Super League at 3pm tomorrow.
Going into the fixture Wigan remain top three points clear of the Warrington Wolves after dispatching Wakefield in their last league match. London, on the other hand, will be hoping new management brings about a change in fortune on the pitch as Tony Rea returns to the Club to take over the reigns from Rob Powell who stepped down earlier this week.
The Broncos are still without prop Karl Temata (hamstring) while second row Jason Golden is out with a knee injury. Shane Rodney is unavailable for selection with a neck injury while ex-Wigan man Liam Colbon is recovering from a shoulder reconstruction and Matt Cook is out with ligament damage.
Meanwhile the Warriors remain without prop Paul Prescott after he aggravated an ankle in training and requires at least two more weeks on the sidelines.
