Harlequins' Karl Dickson is deemed to be offside as the ball comes out of that scrum and so from the resulting penalty, Tommy Bell easily kicks the first points of the afternoon, right under the posts.

Leicester force the first spell of pressure, surging forward through Tommy Bell. They edge towards the try line but Bell is held up by some last-ditch defending and the buffer of the post. We'll have a Tigers scrum five metres out.

Neither side has kept the ball for any great deal of time yet, with possession exchanging hands frequently.

Quins' Matthew Luamanu is receiving treatment after a big hit, but he looks fine to continue. For Leicester, Seremaia Bai is temporarily replaced by Owen Williams, because he has some blood on his face.

Leicester win an lineout and some early territory, but concede a penalty and Harlequins have the put-in for the first scrum of the afternoon.

Leicester are penalised again at the scrum though, and Quins have possession.

Leicester and Harlequins both got off to winning starts last weekend.

Tommy Bell kicked 23 points for the Tigers in their 28-16 victory at London Irish.

Harlequins meanwhile held off a last fightback from Wasps and recorded a 26-21 win at Twickenham Stoop.

Someone's 100% record will have to go today...but whose?

Harlequins make one change to the side which beat Wasps, as England international Mike Brown comes in for Ollie Lindsay-Hague at full-back.

Danny Care returns to the bench after a back spasm and England captain Chris Robshaw will be considered for selection next week.
