Warrington's caretaker coach James Lowes takes charge of his first home game when Hull KR visit the Halliwell-Jones Stadium on Sunday.
The interim boss enjoyed a winning start to his new role last weekend, as the Wolves defeated Harlequins RL 40-24 at the Twickenham Stoop.
After such an excellent performance on their travels Lowes may stick with the same side that did so well in the capital.
However, winger Kevin Penny has recovered from a knee injury that sidelined him for the trip and could come back into the team.
Stuart Reardon, Paul Johnson, Steve Pickersgill and Chris Bridge are all long-term absentees, while Paul Wood is ruled out with a dislocated shoulder.
Last year Warrington did the double over the Robins, scoring 60 points in a thumping win at Craven Park, as well as winning at home 30-12.
Travel-sick Robins
Hull KR will be keen to pick up two points on their travels as the battle for a place in the top six hots up.
Justin Morgan's side have suffered some away day blues of late, conceding 50 points at both Huddersfield and St Helens.
However, they are still firmly in the hunt for a play-off place as they currently sit in eighth spot in the table, a point behind their next opponents.
Clint Newton is unavailable for the clash with the Wolves after being handed a one-match ban for striking, meaning he will lose his ever-present record in the engage Super League.
Centre Chev Walker is another player missing due to a wrist injury. The former Leeds Rhino is due to see a specialist about the problem as fears grow that he may be forced to miss the rest of the campaign.
Stanley Gene has been included in a 19-man squad despite picking up a knock in the heavy loss at Knowsley Road last time out.
Warrington squad: Hicks, M. Gleeson, King, Penny, Monaghan, Briers, Morley, Clarke, Rauhihi, L. Anderson, Westwood, V. Anderson, M. Gleeson, Parker, Grix, Riley, Bracek, Harrison, Blythe
Hull KR squad: Briscoe, Fox, J. Webster, Cockayne, Fitzhenry, Cooke, Dobson, Vella, Fisher, Mills, Gene, Lovegrove, J. Netherton, Chester, Crossman, Watts, Welham, K. Netherton, Steel
