Wigan and Huddersfield have met in the Challenge Cup final just once before. That was all the way back in 1920, and the team from West Yorkshire prevailed on that occasion.
The two sides warmed up for this one with a league clash two weeks ago. Louis Senior was the main man as the Giants ran out 32-22 winners, but Matt Peet fielded a young team and the contest promises to be far tighter at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Huddersfield tore Hull KR to shreds in the semis and Wigan looked like they might emulate them when they raced to a 14-0 lead over St Helens, but the Saints flipped the tables in a flash before Liam Marshall snatched victory late on. There’ll be no such margin for slackness in the final. Follow our guide as we explain how to get a free Wigan Warriors vs Huddersfield Giants live stream from wherever you are.
