Leicester come from 31-7 down to win
Harrison steals in with late Tigers scores
Gloucester debutant Scott had crossed twice
Sale beaten 19-17 at Newcastle
Mugford misses last-gasp kick for Sale
Gloucester 24-7 Leicester
That's a great try! Matt Scott is the new hero of Kingsholm - he has his second try on his debut!
Billy Twelvetress starts it all off, and Scott combines with Ross Moriarty to overlap down the right and he has the pace to evade the Tigers defence and cross in the corner. A slick, energetic counter and Scott was right at the heart of it.
Greig Laidlaw doesn't even look like missing the conversion. Sweetly-struck kick. 24-7.
Billy Burns almost scores immediately after receiving treatment! He skips away down the left, but Lachlan McCaffrey just catches him in time and the ball bounces loose near the corner.
Billy Burns is receiving some treatment on the field after a heavy tackle from Lachlan McCaffrey. But he is fine to continue. He gets a warm round of applause for his efforts.

Alex Shcnopple: title will be just as close this season, I reckon Saracens & Quins to battle it out, with Marchant & Earle pulling all the stops
Gloucester 17-7 Leicester
The Cherry and Whites move into a 10-point lead as Greig Laidlaw calmy kicks a penalty after the hosts put more pressure on Tigers.
Newcastle 3-0 Sale
It's been a quiet opening 10 minutes in the north-east.
Mike Delany has slotted over the easiest of penalties to give Falcons the lead, while Sale's Alan MacGinty has just missed the chance to level things up from the tee.
How much are the Sharks going to miss the boot of Danny Cipriani?
Title-chasing director of rugby David Humphreys is deep in thought in the stands, looking rather unimpressed. Smile, David - you're top of the league as it stands!
Gloucester 14-7 Leicester
The home fans feel better now! Charlie Sharples intercepts just inside the Leicester half and no-one can catch him from there! Matthew Tait was the Tigers man with the offending, loose pass.
Greig Laidlaw's kick restores the seven-point lead.
Did you want tries tonight, folks? Well, how about two in the first 20 minutes? It's been an intriguing start at Kingsholm.
Gloucester will be annoyed at how easily Leicester cancelled out their lead.
Gloucester 7-7 Leicester

BBC Radio 5 live at Kingsholm
Loud boos around Kingsholm. The faithful aren't happy with Manu Tuilagi's try for Leicester.
They think there was a forward pass in the build-up. The replay on the big screen hasn't really convinced them otherwise.
Gloucester 7-7 Leicester

Burns kicks the conversion to even things up at 7-7.
Newcastle 0-0 Sale
They are now under way at Kingston Park. While Gloucester v Leicester is our focus game, we'll have regular updates throughout the evening from Newcastle.

Oh, what a moment! It's a debut try for Matt Scott! There is a hint of a forward pass in the move, but the former Edinburgh centre doesn't care!
On his Gloucester debut, at home, in a new division, just 12 minutes in... TRY. Not a bad start!
Matt Kvesic and Tom Marshall play key roles in the build-up down the hosts' left, before Scott converts from around 5m. Greig Laidlaw makes no mistake with the extras.
Freddie Burns tries to burst through the middle for Tigers but he loses the ball when brought crashing down to the ground in the tackle. It was a promising injection of pace from the number 10 though.
Tigers sustain another phase of Gloucester possession. The noise around Kingsholm is mighty, it has to be said.
Leicester have a line-out, just inside their own half.
Former Gloucester and England centre Mike Tindall is backing his boys tonight...
Gloucester pile on some very early, persistent pressure but eventually give away a penalty to Tigers. The big, powerful mountain that is John Afoa initially breaks clear, but he is tackled around 10m from the line.
The hosts have the early possession, along the halfway line, but they are yet to break past a Leicester tackle.
The expectant home crowd would just love an early score here to get things going nicely!
Gloucester 0-0 Leicester

Gloucester v Leicester (19:45 BST)
The Cherry and Whites, led by Greig Laidlaw, come out to a roar of noise around Kingsholm. Kick-off is coming up next!
