Wakefield recall Brad Drew after the hooker recovered from a rib injury.
James Stosic will play despite a ifractured eye socket while Tevita Leo-Latu (shoulder) is fit but Tony Martin (shoulder) misses out.
Castleford's Brett Ferres is missing as he serves a one-game ban while Brent Sherwin (foot) and Sione Faumuina (Achilles) are also absentees.
James Ford, James Evans and Ryan Boyle are added to the team that defeated Salford last week.
Wakefield coach John Kear told
"It's just a great derby at a great time of the season and I think it's indicative of the progress Castleford have made over the last three years.
"They've had three very different victories in their last three games but three that have indicated that they're a really good rugby league team with good potential to kick on further.
Castleford coach Terry Matterson told
"I know we haven't had a lot of success since I've been here, and even before that.
"Wakefield have had the wood over us and won a big majority of the derbies but this is a new one - it all starts at 0-0 and hopefully we can turn the tables."
