The sides go into the penultimate round of the regular season locked together on points, so this weekend’s victors will have one hand on the Betfred Super League leaders’ shield. Winger Maika Sivo and second-rower James McDonnell are back in contention for Rhinos, but Danny Levi, a substitute in last Friday’s win against St Helens, has rejoined the injury list. Here’s how Leeds could line up at a sold out AMT Headingley Stadium.

14. Loose-forward: Presley Cassell
In good form, improving week on week and deserves to keep his place. Photo: Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com

Invaluable as an impact player off the bench. Photo: Matthew Merrick/SWpix.com
16. Sub: Cameron Smith
Has consistently made an impact as a replacement this year. Photo: Paul Currie/SWpix.com
17. Sub: Matt Lodge
Has gone well in his two games so far. Photo: Matthew Merrick/SWpix.com
18. Sub: James McDonnell
Might not be risked after missing the last couple with a pectoral muscle injury, but Danny Levi’s absence means there is a vacancy. Photo: Alex Whitehead/SWpix.com
