Mike Tindall is Gloucester's biggest concern after the England star picked up an ankle injury against Bath last week and fellow centre Anthony Allen is also doubtful.

Leicester second-row Louis Deacon has already been ruled out by a back injury and Irish full-back Johne Murphy is troubled by a swollen knee.

Dean Ryan, the Gloucester head coach, said: "We've got an awful lot of bumps and bruises and 'Tins' is our main concern. But we're in front of a fantastic support base so that gives us a good chance. I think we do get an edge at home and we feel more comfortable."

Under-fire Leicester coach Marcelo Loffreda is trying to hold on to his job and could do with a boost from Murphy, who has been a key attacking weapon this season.

Loffreda said: "Johne had some swelling in his knee but he is getting better and has a big chance of playing.

"Gloucester are the best team at the moment. They are strong but it depends what happens in that 80 minutes and not before."
