Sky will also provide live coverage of the following afternoon’s showdown between the current top two on the table when Leigh Leopards, who are second, host Catalans Dragons.
That will be Leigh’s first home match for more than a month and will give both clubs the chance to reflect on the progress made since they met at the same venue in the sudden-death Million Pound Match in September, 2017 , when Catalans’ 26-10 victory condemned Leigh to relegation.
