It’s Armed Forces Appreciation Day at the Salford Community Stadium, as Paul Rowley’s side face St Helens in the Betfred Super League.
The Red Devils are full of confidence after a resounding victory over Warrington Wolves, but the visitors are in some fine form of their own.
In fact, they have won their last four Super League encounters by a significant margin; including last week’s 6-52 victory against London Broncos, where star hooker, Daryl Clark scored a hat-trick.
After a history-making win in the reverse fixture, the Red Devils are looking to do the double over Saints for the first time since season 1979/80.

SQUAD NEWS
There is only one change to the squad who produced a brilliant away performance at Warrington Wolves last Friday.
Amir Bourouh has joined Barrow Raiders on loan to gain some valuable match minutes, so drops out and makes it a 20-man squad.
This game is also too soon for Ryan Brierley, who is still struggling for fitness after picking up a knock against London Broncos in Round 13.
LAST TIME OUT
The last time we faced St Helens needs no introduction.
Paul Rowley’s team arrived at the TWS on a chilly, Friday evening knowing no Salford side have won on the road against Saints in 44 years.
The hosts got off to a flying start, scoring two quick-fire tries via Jack Welsby and Lewis Dodd.
A neat cut-out ball from Ryan Brierley sent Deon Cross over to half the deficit, but Mark Percival soon got Saints back on track when he latched onto Jonny Lomax’s short ball.
Then, a moment which switched the momentum – Percival saw red for a strong challenge on Jack Ormondroyd.
In ten crazy minutes, Nene Macdonald, Chris Atkin and Cross again completed a stunning comeback, with the final try a piece of absolute genius from Tim Lafai.
The Samoan caught the ball in one hand, twisted and flicked a pass out the back to send Cross over for a stroll in. Relive that special night from our unique Behind the Sticks angle by clicking below.
