Saints fans are urged to roar the team on as they look to bounce back from last Saturday's first defeat of the season against Catalans Dragons in Perpignan which ended their 100 per cent start.
The defeat saw in-form Warrington move above the Saints on points difference at the summit of the Super League table.

Excitement has been bubbling all week among the spectators with a big crowd expected for tonight's match.
And the clubs have even been exchanging some cheeky Twitter banter in the lead-up the clash.
The Warrington Wolves began the exchange with a tweet showing clips from the Wire's victory against Saints in last season's play-off semi-final.
The video was accompanied by the words: "@Saints1890 fans having flashbacks to the last time we played them".

Meanwhile, the Saints club account quickly responded with a montage of clips from some of Saints' Grand Final wins over the Super League era, perhaps a friendly reminder of their neighbour's ongoing 64-year wait for a league title.
