Chris Pennell will captain the team from full back while Richard Muagututia could make his Aviva Premiership debut after being named among the replacements.

"The big challenge, after really battling for a win at Wasps, is to really back it up with a home victory. We have got to really start to establish this as a difficult place for other teams to come to," said Head Coach Richard Hill.

"Gloucester have been superb and I watched them play at home at Kingsholm against Wasps and that was some of the best rugby I have seen - it was absolutely astounding.

"Wasps lost six tries to one but I don't think any team in the Aviva Premiership would have lived with Gloucester on that day. They were on fire and have hit from at a good time.

"We have five crucial home games to come, including the derby, and we have to make sure we take advantage of the fantastic support we have to turn those fixtures into wins.

"We want to be looking up the table as opposed to over our shoulder and bringing our supporters a winning brand of rugby. It will be fantastic to see another sell-out crowd at Sixways and we want to perform for them."

Supporters are advised that the game is a complete sell out and no tickets are available. Only fans with a valid ticket should travel to Sixways for the televised game.
