Leeds boss Rohan Smith has announced his selections too.
Following a foot injury for Richie Myler at St Helens last Friday, Luke Hooley could make his home debut for the Rhinos.
Hooley helped Batley Bulldogs to reach Wembley in the 1895 Cup recently and could add to his only appearance for the Rhinos so far this season at Hull KR back in March.
The Rhinos are without winger David Fusitu'a as he completes the return to play protocol following a concussion at Saints last week.
Youngsters Jack Sinfield and Alfie Edgell are also both drafted into the 21 man squad.
James Donaldson is set to make his 100th appearance for Leeds.
Donaldson missed out on selection last week at St Helens but could return to action on Sunday.
