Leicester have won three of the five clashes between the sides this term including a last-gasp Heineken Cup quarter-final triumph on the same ground just two weeks ago but Bath head coach Meehan has no doubt his team will relish the task in pursuit of their first league title since 1996.

Bath finished fourth in the table after a 33-18 victory over Saracens and Meehan said: "We were at Leicester not so very long ago, and the memory of that game is still very much alive. There is something special about Leicester v Bath, and it is not difficult to get immersed in that history between the clubs."

Bath saw off an indisciplined Saracens side - the visitors had three players yellow-carded - courtesy of tries by Andrew Higgins, Peter Short and Matt Banahan, while fly-half Ryan Davis kicked 18 points.

Meehan added: "It seemed to me that Saracens faced their first-half on emotion, and they had a number of players in the sin bin as a result.

"We weren't expecting anything to be easy today, but you can't afford to be down to 14 men at any stage in a competition like this one".
