SHEFFIELD Tigers face the ultimate test of their home form on Thursday when Premier League title favourites Edinburgh Monarchs visit Owlerton Stadium (7.45).

The Sheffield Window Centre-backed side have serious hopes of a top four finish and a place in the play-offs and cannot afford to drop any home points.

Club owner Neil Machin said: "This will be such a tough meeting for the boys but we will be up for the challenge and we need the backing of our brilliant fans.

"We lost at Birmingham on Wednesday night but I feel sure that was just a clip and there is no better way to bounce back than by beating the best team in the league on current league standings!"

The Sheffield Window Centre-backed side are unchanged from the defeat at Birmingham with Dakota North of Newcastle making a guest appearance for the injured Paul Cooper.
