Wests Tigers Coach Michael Maguire has confirmed an unchanged team for his side's Round 3 clash against the Newcastle Knights today at McDonald Jones Stadium.

Kickoff for the match is at 4:05pm AEDT as Wests Tigers look to bounce back from last week's defeat and earn their first win of the season.

James Roberts will return at right centre after sitting out last week's clash against the Roosters — taking the place of Joey Leilua — while Zane Musgrove's return from suspension sees him start at prop and Joe Ofahengaue drop back to the bench, with Michael Chee Kam warming up as 18th Man.

For the Knights, Englishman Dominic Young will make his NRL debut in the centres following Saturday's withdrawal of Bradman Best due to an elbow injury.

Young's promotion into the starting side sees Gehamat Shibasaki moved on to the wing and Starford To'a joining Pasami Saulo as the players dropping out of the side.
