Sports Mole previews Saturday's meeting between Leicester and Bath in the Aviva Premiership at Welford Road.

Two of English rugby's greatest rivals meet at Welford Road on Saturday as Leicester Tigers take on Bath.

The visitors will be eager to end their recent record against the Tigers which has seen them lose eight of their last nine encounters in the Aviva Premiership.

Fifth-placed Leicester will be looking to get back to winning ways following last weekend's 14-12 defeat to London Wasps.

Martin Castrogiovanni and Marcos Ayerza return for the home side, while Bath welcome back Horacio Agulla, Paul James and Francois Louw.

Tom Biggs will also start on the wing for the visitors after he was released from international duty with England.
