Wakefield Wildcats star Brad Drew returns for the West Yorkshire derby at Belle Vue on Friday night.
The veteran hooker was absent from Wakefield's team that went down 30-14 at Huddersfield last time out because of a rib injury.
Drew replaces Tony Martin in coach John Kear's squad, after the former New Zealand Warrior sustained a shoulder injury at The Galpharm Stadium.
Martin kicked Wakefield's only points in their 18-4 defeat to Leeds at Headingley at the start of the season but the club have moved up to joint-fifth in the Super League standings since then.
The other change sees Kevin Henderson return to the squad in place of Frank Winterstein as the Wildcats look to secure their qualification for the play-offs, with just eight regular season games remaining.
Records
New Zealand international Brent Webb is back fit for champions Leeds Rhinos.
The Rhinos full-back missed last week's 43-30 win at Hull FC and comes into the travelling party in place of Ryan Bailey.
Super League's top try-scorer Ryan Hall will be looking to add to his impressive haul of 19 tries so far, while Keith Senior is poised to make the 501st appearance of his Super League career.
The second-placed Rhinos come into the game on the back of four straight wins and have not been beaten since being edged out by the Catalans Dragons on June 6.
Wakefield squad: Blaymire, Atkins, Peterson, Brough, Demetriou, Drew, Snitch, Wilkes, Grix, Obst , Stosic, Bibey, Henderson, Gleeson, Leo-Latu, Korkidas, Ferguson, Moore, Murphy.
Leeds squad: Webb, Donald, Smith, Senior, Hall, McGuire, Burrow, Leuluai, Buderus, Peacock, Jones-Buchanan, Lauitiiti, Sinfield, Diskin, Ablett, Burgess, Gibson, Worrall, Ratu.
