In last week's dress rehearsal in Super League, Wigan ran out narrow 19-18 winners at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, and a thrilling contest is expected at the national stadium.
Wigan are now two points clear of Warrington in the Super League table, but the Wolves have fewer selection issues ahead of kick-off.
Challenge Cup Final Tips
Warrington will look to win their first Challenge Cup final since 2019, and confidence will be high despite last week's defeat to their rivals.
The Warriors may have earned the two points in Super League, but Sam Burgess rested plenty of his first-team stars with Saturday's final in mind.
Some of Warrington's academy prospects did themselves proud in a tough battle, while Wigan have lost Adam Keighran and Tyler Dupree to suspension following that contest.
Wigan have won the last six meetings between the two clubs, and while they still may come out on top this week, it could be via a narrow margin.
Warrington pushed them all the way with a young squad last week, so there's every chance they repeat that feat at Wembley.
Wigan winger Marshall has 13 tries to his name this season, and he should be able to shake off a knee injury that troubled him last week.
Marshall was still able to score a try during the 19-18 win, and he has tried to play down fears that he will not be fit to feature at Wembley.
The 28-year-old is one of the most prolific finishers in rugby league, and he should be able to score in three consecutive matches against the Wire.
Burgess will lean heavily on Williams and Josh Drinkwater in the halves this week, and the former should be able to get himself on the scoresheet.
The England international has six tries to his name already this season in Super League, and he will look to win the Challenge Cup for a second time.
As an ex-Wigan player, Williams will need no extra motivation against the club that made him the player he is today, and he has the speed and awareness to find gaps on the big Wembley pitch.
