Coverage: Updates on BBC Radio 5 Live, Radio Manchester, BBC London & the BBC Sport website, highlights on the Super League Show.

Warrington recall skipper Adrian Morley and overseas trio Brett Hodgson, Joel and Michael Monaghan, rested for last Friday’s 22-6 win at Wakefield.

Teenage centre Rhys Evans is set to step in for the injured Ryan Atkins.

High-riding Harlequins have lost stand-off Joe Mellor, who has been recalled by parent club Wigan.

David Howell returns from suspension, while second rower Chris Bailey plays after avoiding a ban for a dangerous tackle in the win over St Helens.

Quins have so far proved this season’s dark horses, having won four of their matches under new coach Rob Powell.

They have so far won all three matches on the road with performances of increasing impressiveness – beating Catalan Dragons, Leeds and St Helens last Friday night.

Engage Super League XVI action will return to The Halliwell Jones Stadium when Warrington Wolves host Harlequins RL in round six on Sunday afternoon.

Both sides are riding high near the top of the table and with four wins from five neither will want to end their winning ways.

Warrington hooker Jon Clarke told BBC Radio Merseyside:

“I’ve watched Harlequins and you take them lightly at your peril as they’ve turned a couple of big sides over.

“They’ve got three or four players in key positions all playing very well and making everyone around them play well also.”

Warrington coach Tony Smith:

“We’ve got a similar record at the moment in terms of wins and losses and a similar record in terms of the teams that we’ve played too with some similar results having been beaten by Huddersfield and both with wins over Saints and Leeds.

“They are a good team and work hard for one another. You need to be at your best to beat them. And they deserve to be where they are at the moment.”
