Saints are back in action once again tomorrow, Monday, as we face Salford Red Devils with kick off at 5.30pm at Emerald Headingley Stadium and you can read all the pre-match news in our preview story.
BACKGROUND…
Salford arrive into this one on the back of a Coral Challenge Cup Final defeat at Wembley before a 58-12 defeat to Wigan on Friday. They sit down in 9th in the Betfred Super League table and will be looking for a response on Monday as the Champions are back in action again.
Both teams have had just two days to prepare for this and there are sure to be some changes. Saints arrive on a winning run and sit top of Super League after a 40-8 victory over a young Leeds side on Friday.
