Leeds are expected to be unchanged, although Kallum Watkins could return to the bench after being named in the 19-man squad in place of Ashley Gibson.
Hull KR have Ben Cockayne standing by in case full-back Shaun Briscoe fails to shake off a shoulder injury.
Prop Nick Fozzard, who was dropped a fortnight ago, and second rower Jason Netherton, who has recovered from a shoulder injury, should return.
Loan signing Kyle Bibb drops out out of the 19-man squad.
Leeds coach Brian McClennan told:
"Hull play a percentage game and their back three come out quickly and can burn you.
"They have some good kick options with Dodson and Cooke and they complete their sets.
"You have to have good communication in your defence in order to cope with what they throw at you.
"I don't think we have really started our run yet but in July we have consolidated and got ourselves in a good position."
Leeds: Webb, Donald, Smith, Senior, Hall, McGuire, Burrow, Leuluai, Buderus, Peacock, Jones-Buchanan, Lauitiiti, Sinfield, Diskin, Ablett, Burgess, Worrall, Watkins, Ratu.
