Sports Mole previews Sunday's Aviva Premiership encounter between Saracens and Gloucester at Vicarage Road.

Sunday sees two of the Aviva Premiership's in-form teams go head to head at Vicarage Road as Saracens entertain Gloucester Rugby.

Despite both sides being level on points in the table, Sarries are currently one place above their opponents in third.

The hosts come into the match with four wins from their last five in the league, but Gloucester are also in sparkling domestic form thanks to five wins from six.

Steve Borthwick makes his return from injury to make his 100th appearance for the club, while Charlie Hodgson also comes back into the side.

Rhys Gill is also given a starting berth with Neil de Kock and Mouritz Botha.

Billy Twelvetrees starts at number 10 for Gloucester following Freddie Burns's England call-up.
