    Catalans Dragons have not been far from the top of the table all season and currently lie fourth in Super League, four points behind today's Challenge Cup opponents Hull.

    The French club have never won the Challenge Cup, although they did reach the final in 2007, where they lost to St Helens.

    Many pundits expected Hull FC to have a half-decent season, but not many would have predicted them being two points clear at the top of the Super League table after 19 games.

    Lee Radford's side have won their last nine matches and a 10th straight win today will put them a step closer to a first trip to Wembley since 2013.

    Warrington and Wakefield are already through to the last four of the Challenge Cup, leaving two more semi-final spots up for grabs.
