Live Challenge Cup quarter-final action as competition favourites St Helens host fellow Super League high-fliers Wakefield in the tie of the round.

Mark Chapman presents live Challenge Cup quarter-final action as competition favourites St Helens host fellow Super League high-fliers Wakefield in the tie of the round. 

In-form St Helens lifted the trophy five times between 2001 and 2008 but have not reached the final since the last of those victories 11 years ago. It is 56 years since Wakefield last won the cup, but they have been rejuvenated under the guidance of head coach Chris Chester, who led Hull KR to the final in 2015.

St Helens won 24-18 in the only previous meeting between the sides this season, in round two of Super League back in February, with Tommy Makinson scoring two of Saints’ tries that day.
