The two teams have enjoyed a number of big clashes throughout the years.
This week’s Super League fixture is the first of two back-to-back games between the pair, with a Challenge Cup tie at Headingley in the diary for next Saturday.
Ahead of this Friday’s clash, here are Wigan’s last six meetings with Leeds:
1. Wigan Warriors 8-20 Leeds Rhinos (16/09/22)
The Warriors’ 2022 campaign came to an end at the hands of Rohan Smith’s side. Tries from Liam Marshall and Sam Powell were nothing more than consolations, as James Bentley went over for a brace to send the Rhinos to the Grand Final at Old Trafford- where they ultimately lost to St Helens. Wigan finished the game with 12-men after John Bateman was sent off during the second half. Photo: Ed Sykes/SWpix.com

Prior to their defeat in the play-offs, Matty Peet's side had also been well beaten at Headingley during the regular season. Bevan French and Jake Bibby went over for Wigan’s only tries in the 42-12 loss. Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com

4. Wigan 0-8 Leeds Rhinos (23/09/21)
