    It's back to the welcome surroundings of the AJ Bell Stadium for Sale Sharks and Steve Diamond first up this afternoon.

    Just the one win in their last five games for the Sharks, but their last defeat on home turf in any competition came 11 months ago against Harlequins.

    Leicester have just one away win to their name this calendar year. But, as Richard Cockerill's side look to hold onto a top four berth, they'll know they need something from this road trip.
