Paul Rowley’s side will make a short trip down the M62 to take on Warrington Wolves in Round 14.
After a weeks’ rest, Salford Red Devils are looking to maintain a spot in the top six with a win against the Challenge Cup runners-up.
In our last meeting, a Ryan Brierley penalty-try was the difference in a closely-fought contest, but since then, Sam Burgess’ side have earned impressive victories over Hull FC, Hull KR, Huddersfield Giants and Catalans Dragons.
The Wire may be wounded from cup final heartbreak, but they’ll still be the sternest of tests for the Reds, who will remember a missed opportunity when we had a healthy lead at the HWJ last season.
Here’s everything you need to know before this one:

SQUAD NEWS
Loghan Lewis could potentially make his Salford Red Devils debut, as he’s named in Paul Rowley’s 21-man squad for the first time since his move from Canberra Raiders.
After some valuable minutes in the Reserves, Harvey Wilson is also still in contention for his first appearance.
A piece of good news for supporters will be seeing Nene Macdonald’s inclusion, after the PNG international limped off the field with a knee injury almost a fortnight ago.
However, Ryan Brierley remains absent from the squad as he continues his recovery from a shoulder issue. Matty Foster is also added to the injury list after a collision in our last outing against London Broncos.
LAST TIME OUT
We’re never short of drama when these two sides face-off in the Betfred Super League.
Back in Round 9, an impressive Warrington side travelled to the Salford Community Stadium looking to build-on a positive start to 2024.
Tim Lafai opened the scoring on ten minutes with a stunning, solo run, where he handed-off multiple Wire players to crash over – a try that was voted our best of April.
James Harrison and George Williams turned the tide, but Joe Mellor notched career try 99 with a neat scoot from dummy-half, just before the interval.
Salford nudged themselves into the lead via a Marc Sneyd drop-goal, but Stefan Ratchford soon flipped the scores with a penalty-goal.
In such an intense arm wrestle, a game-breaking run and kick back infield by Nene Macdonald caused Danny Walker to foul Ryan Brierley and force referee, James Vella to award a penalty-try.
It was a moment that decided the contest, with the Red Devils emerging with a big two points.
