Burrow set for Rhinos return

Rob Burrow will return to the Leeds Rhinos squad for Friday night's crunch Super League clash against league leaders Wigan at Headingley (Leeds 10/11, Wigan 10/11, Draw 16/1 - Match Betting).

The scrum-half was forced to miss last week's 31-22 win at Salford due to a knee injury, but the diminutive Burrow (16/1 to score the first try) is back in contention to face the Warriors.

The defending champions, who are currently fourth in the table, will also welcome back Jamie Peacock and Keith Senior, who also missed the clash with Salford.

Leeds coach Brian McClennan is upbeat his sides chances, especially having watched them in training this week.

The Rhinos chief said: "This week there has been a sparkle in the eyes of the players because we are playing against the form team in the competition. Wigan will come here full of confidence and that is a challenge that excites us."

Meanwhile, the Warriors (4/5 to be the first team to score) have made just one change to their squad following their crushing 46-0 win over Hull FC last Friday.

Prop Paul Prescott is forced to sit out the game due to a facial injury and he is replaced by youngster Ben Davies.

The two sides have met twice already this season, with Wigan winning 24-4 at the DW Stadium in March while Leeds knocked Wigan out of the Challenge Cup 12-10 at Headingley in May.
