Leeds Rhinos head coach Brian McClennan has named Ryan Bailey and Matt Diskin in his 19-man squad to face West Yorkshire rivals Bradford Bulls at Headingley Carnegie.
Neither player featured in Rhinos' 48-14 win over Harlequins last week, but both have recovered from injury in time for Friday night's derby showdown.
The match will also see former Rhino Nick Scruton return to Headingley for the first time since moving to the Gratton Stadium in September 2008.
Rhinos stalwart Keith Senior is expected to make his 499th appearance of his professional career and the centre will become the first player of the modern era to pass 500 games if selected for the trip to Hull FC next Saturday.
Bradford Bulls have named teenager James Donaldson and Matt Cook in their squad as Steve McNamara's men go in search of their first Super League win since March 21.
The Bulls do replace Glenn Morrison (ribs) and Julien Rinaldi (foot) for the clash against the reigning champions.
Loose forward Donaldson, 17, may make his Super League debut although Paul Sykes (hamstring) is likely to be fit after missing the last two games, to fill one of the vacancies.
Leeds squad: Webb, Donald, Smith, Senior, Hall, McGuire, Burrow, Leuluai, Buderus, Peacock, Jones-Buchanan, Lauitiiti, Sinfield, Diskin, Bailey, Ablett, Burgess, Worrall, Watkins.
Bradford squad: Sykes, Langley, Sheriffe, Burgess, Donaldson, Scruton, Menzies, Newton, Whitehead, Cook, Halley, Nero, Lynch, Kopczak, Jeffries, Tadulala, Worrincy, Platt, Deacon.
