St Helens travel to Leeds Rhinos on Friday night in the sixth round of the Betfred Challenge Cup.

The game will begin at 8.p.m UK time and will be broadcast on the BBC.

St Helens return to Leeds after a victory in the league last Friday against the Rhinos, which saw them come from 8-0 down to win 8-18.

The game saw tries from Waqa Blake, Jon Bennison and Moses Mbye, with Jonny Lomax converting three from three.

The Saints, who sit in third in the league, have had a relatively strong start to their league campaign, winning four and losing one.

Paul Wellens’ side will be without winger Tommy Makinson, who was withdrawn from the lineup minutes before the previous game.

Curtis Sironen returns to the squad after missing out last week due to a back spasm.

Speaking to Saints TV, head coach Wellens said: “We’re super pumped around the challenge cup.

“It’s a trophy that we’ve been fortunate in our long history at the club to get our hands on a number of times.”
