Warrington welcome back England international centre Martin Gleeson and loose forward Vinnie Anderson for the visit of Les Catalans on Saturday.
The pair missed last week's defeat at St Helens because of injury and illness respectively, but a surprise omission is that of winger Kevin Penny.
Catalans are without new signing Jason Ryles, the former Australian Test prop who damaged his shoulder in last week's opening defeat by Huddersfield.
Hooker Casey McGuire is expected to recover from a rib injury. Coach Kevin Walters has added Jean Philippe Baile, Cyrille Gossard and Julien Touxagas to his travelling party.
"We were disappointed with our performance last week," said Walters, himself a former Warrington player, albeit briefly. "We were well beaten. We need to get ourselves back in shape which we've done this week and hopefully we can put on a better show.
"I was disappointed with our defence more than anything. We were a little bit lazy and not aggressive enough. We conceded two or three soft tries, which was disappointing.
"Huddersfield were very good, somewhere near where we wanted to be, but we've worked hard this week."
Warrington Wolves squad: Riley, Hicks, Johnson, Bridge, King, Gleeson, Monaghan, Morley, Higham, Carvell, L. Anderson, Westwood, Harrison, Briers, Wood, V. Anderson, Rauhihi, Blythe, McCarthy.
Catalans Dragons squad: Baile, Bell, Bosc, Carlaw, Casty, Croker, Elima, Fakir, Ferriol, Gossard, Greenshields, Guisset, McGuire, Mogg, Mounis, Pelo, Perry, Stacul, Touxagas.
