    Try: Wasps 7-10 Leicesterpublished at 23 mins

    Nizaam Carr (23 mins)

    Great handling and a deft pass from Dan Robson gives Nizaam Carr the task of weaving past a couple defenders and putting the ball down to get Wasps off the mark.

    The South Africa number eight had the momentum to take him away from the chasing Leicester defenders, and the dependable Jimmy Gopperth kicks an extra two points.

    Wasps 0-10 Leicester

    Jonah Holmes out wide almost further extends Leicester's lead but Christian Wade comes steaming in to deny him.

    Dai Young looks relatively relaxed in the stand but he can't be pleased with the penalty count against his Wasps side.

    Gloucester 39-15 London Irish

    Just two minutes remaining in Gloucester and the hosts are pushing for a sixth try.

    London Irish are defending brilliantly on their line, however.

    Tigers head coach Matt O'Connor might have looked a little uneasy pre-match, but his troops have come charging out of the blocks.

    The visitors now have a scrum after a Wasps knock-on - the hosts are yet to find their stride.

    In big derby games like this you need your captain to step up.

    From a ruck, Tom Youngs receives a short ball at pace but takes it expertly and dots down in front of the posts.

    George Ford adds the extras and Leicester find themselves in a commanding position already.

    Wasps 0-3 Leicester

    Since falling behind Wasps have woken up.

    James Haskell, left out of England's squad for the autumn internationals, looks to have a point to prove.

    The hosts turnover in their opponents' 22 and are building the pressure.

    Henry Purdy, con missed Billy Twelvetrees

    A fifth try for Gloucester!

    Henry Purdy collects a fine cross-field kick from Billy Burns, and it is a excellent finish in the corner.

    Make that the cherry on what is sure to be a win.

    Gloucester 34-15 London Irish

    There is less than 15 minutes remaining at Kingsholm, and Gloucester look to be cruising to their fifth straight Premiership win.

    London Irish have been a man down for the entire second half, but they have worked Gloucester all the same.

    What chances the Cherry and Whites have had, they have taken.

    When under pressure in defence, the hosts have largely dealt with the danger.

  9. Penalty: Wasps 0-3 Leicesterpublished at 16:34 Greenwich Mean Time 2 December 2017

    George Ford (4 mins)

    The visitors do now lead, but it's just the three points and not the seven they really should've had.

    Play is brought back for a penalty which George Ford slots with ease.

    Wasps 0-0 Leicester

    What a start we almost had - Leicester should be ahead.

    Gareth Owen makes an excellent break but there's a lack of awareness from the visitors, with a clear overlap overlooked.

    Wasps recover and escape this time.

    Leicester get this one started at a pretty packed Ricoh Arena.

    The rain has dampened the surface but not the spirits of anyone in the ground.

    Wasps v Leicester (16:30 GMT)

    The visitors are out first and Wasps soon follow - led out by Jake Cooper-Woolley on his 100th appearance for the club.

    What an occasion to make it.

    You want to get a sense of just how hard Gloucester are making London Irish work.

    This image just about sums up how the day has been. The Exiles have thrown themselves into the contest, but Gloucester have been clinical against 14 men.

    Teofilo Paulo, con Tommy Bell

    Just as the game looked to have been taken away from them, London Irish come up with their second try of the day.

    From a driving maul, Teofilo Paulo touches down.

    The deficit is cut further as Tommy Bell adds the extras. Spirited stuff, it must be said.

    Wasps expect their largest attendance of the season - more than 23,000 - for the visit of Leicester at the Ricoh Arena.

    Dai Young's side have beaten Tigers in all their past four meetings, but Leicester have won their previous three away matches.

    With Wasps languishing in sixth, three points behind their opponents, it's probably fair to say it's them that need the points most.

    Jake Polledri, con Billy Twelvetrees

    And that is the bonus point in the bag for Gloucester!

    What a set of jets Jake Polledri has. He breaks the line 40 metres out and races away.

    He busts tackles along the way. It's truly impressive stuff.
