    Hull will have full-back Cameron Phelps back after missing Sunday’s 40-30 win at Harlequins with a hamstring injury.

    Richard Horne reverts to stand-off, with Sam Obst dropping to the bench.

    Castleford coach Terry Matterson has named an unchanged 19-man squad as second-placed Tigers look to make it six wins out of seven.

    Richard Owen and Ryan Hudson were the two who sat out last Sunday’s heaviest win this season, the 10-try, 56-16 home victory over Crusaders.


    Castleford coach Terry Matterson told BBC Radio Leeds:

    “We’ve been at home a lot this year and performed well. But when we went away a couple of weeks ago, we didn’t quite get the job done.

    “Hopefully we’ve learned our lessons from a couple of weeks ago but we’re under no illusions.

    “We’re coming up against a team that’s desperate, under pressure. They’ve got some really good players, their pack is their strength so we’ve got to make sure that we come out level in that battle.”
