LEE Radford has made two changes to his squad for the trip to Odsal with Jordan Rankin returning after missing the St Helens clash through injury.
Rankin is joined in the squad by hooker James Cunningham, who comes in for Aaron Heremaia following the Kiwi's minor operation this week on a knee injury.
Cunningham is expected to play, but Rankin will face stiff competition to regain his place in front of Richard Horne and Jordan Abdull.Possible Hull FC line-up:: Shaul; Lineham, Whiting, Yeaman, Talanoa; Horne, Rankin; Paea, Houghton, Watts; Hadley, Ellis; Westerman.Subs: Abdull, Bowden, Cunningham, Green, Paleaaesina, Sa.Bradford

THE 2014 season could have looked much different for Hull FC and Bradford Bulls if the proposed move for Luke Gale had materialised.
Hull were interested in Gale back in pre-season and with the Bulls struggling with ownership issues and a then-impending points deduction the Black and Whites tried their hand.
Gale wasn't convinced and instead opted to commit himself to the Bulls.
Hull could have done with his services this year, but as they look ahead will feel happy they have landed Marc Sneyd.
Despite a difficult season for the Bulls, Gale has still managed to further his reputation and will once again be a key cog in the Bradford machine tomorrow.
At opposite ends of their career, Richard Horne is now a man playing with the freedom of knowing each performance will be his last-ever against that side.
Odsal hasn't always been a happy hunting ground for Horne in his career and the scene of some games he'd like to forget, but he'll be determined to make sure this last trip to Odsal is one to remember.
Against St Helens last time out Horne was terrific. With possibly just four games of a 16-year career left, the stand-off will hope he can bow out in style with a repeat display.Bradford form guide
IT'S amazing what the confirmation of relegation can do for you.
Under the pressure of trying to save a season that always looked doomed from the outset, Bradford struggled for form and results, even following the immediate arrival of new coach James Lowes.
With their relegation finally rubber- stamped, it is as if a weight has been lifted off the lid at Odsal and in the past few weeks Bradford have played with freedom, ending a six-game losing streak.
Having beaten Wigan at home they responded by defeating Leeds in a derby at Headingley.Bradford last time out
IN the last West Yorkshire derby for possibly some time, Lee Gaskell's late try was the difference as Bradford beat Leeds Rhinos 20-14 at Headingley.
Bradford took a fifth-minute lead through on-loan winger Danny Williams, but it was soon wiped out by Mitch Achurch's effort.
Tries from Luke Gale and Brett Delaney kept the game tight.
Gale's penalty gave the Bulls the advantage but Luke Briscoe appeared to have given the Rhinos a win late on, only for Gaskell to send the away fans home happy with a late converted try.
