St Helens and Wigan Warriors meet in a repeat of last season’s Grand Place for a place in the 2011 showpiece at Old Trafford.

In a repeat of last year's Grand Final, 2010 runners up St Helens host defending champions Wigan Warriors in a hotly anticipated Play-off semi-final. 

The teams have faced each other five times this season, with Wigan winning on three occasions and the sides drawing at the start of the season but it was Saints who were victorious two weeks ago in the first round of the play-offs.

Saints coach Royce Simmons has reported no fresh injury concerns ahead of Saturday's match with Leon Pryce and Gary Wheeler back in the reckoning. 

St Helens' Paul Wellens needs one try to reach 200 career touchdowns, a feat which would see him move into joint seventh place in the list of all-time St Helens try-scorers.

Joel Tomkins will be fit to play for the Warriors after he was taken off in last week's game against Catalan with a leg injury and Lee Mossop is also expected to be fit after breaking down in the warm-up with a hamstring problem. 

However Wigan will be without Ben Cross who has sustained a stress fracture in his arm.

The winner of this Play-Off semi-final will face either Warrington Wolves or Leeds Rhinos at Old Trafford on Saturday October 2.

This semi-final should be a close encounter and Wigan are seen as slight favourites and can be backed at 4/6 with BetFred, while Saints are on offer at 6/5 with the draw available at 18/1.

Handicap betting is very popular in the Super League Play-Offs with Saints +4 available at 10/11, while the Warriors -4 can be backed at 11/10 with Bet365.

First try scoring options include Jamie Foster (10/1 Ladbrokes), Francis Meli (12/1) and Wellens (16/1) for the Saints, while Pat Richards (9/1), Josh Charnley (9/1) and Sam Tomkins (10/1) are always dangerous for the champions.
