The final Hull derby of the season has nothing riding on it except winter bragging rights, but that will do nothing to dampen the intensity at Craven Park.
Hull KR coach Justin Morgan is expected to make just one change, with a recall for second rower Jason Netherton, who missed the last match at Bradford through injury.
Hull - bidding to bounce back from last week's Challenge Cup final disappointment - will give a debut to former Rovers scrum-half James Webster, who has not played for three months with a shoulder problem.
Webster is expected to link up with Danny Washbrook at halfback, with Great Britain international Richard Horne set to start from the bench.
Following his Wembley heroics, Horne continues his comeback from a career-threatening neck injury, but prop Garreth Carvell (groin) is out.
Hull KR squad: Briscoe, Fox, Webster, Welham, Steel, Galea, Dobson, Mills, Fisher, J. Netherton, Vella, Gene, Cooke, Crossman, Aizue, Cockayne, Watts, I'Anson, Lovegrove.
Hull FC squad: Berrigan, Burnett, Byrne, Cusack, Dowes, Hall, Houghton, G Horne, R Horne, Lee, Manu, Radford, Raynor, Sing, Tickle, Thackray, Washbrook, Webster, Yeaman.
