Leicester 0-10 Saracens
Leicester running aground on some ferocious line-speed from Saracens here. Their back-row weapons looking to crash through. Manu Tuilagi has a go. Tigers lose it.
Alex Goode kicks for territory but then Mathew Tait slams a brilliant kick back the Saracens way and turns the visitors round.
Open and exciting at the moment.
Leicester 0-10 Saracens
Patience from Leicester to get into the double figures in phases. They're back on the 10m line in the Saracens half now.
Then Matt Toomua sends a hospital pass but Tigers recover. George Ford ends up nudging one into touch.
Better from Tigers, who have Jonny May back. Saracens get the line-out and immediately form a maul but Tigers drive it back.

Schalk Burger has gone back off, with Calum Clark back on after his concussion assessment. Pleasing.
Leicester get a scrum penalty after an error by Juan Figalo. Ball banged out, Sarries line-out in midfield, then a kick down field is gathered up by Mathew Tait.
Some really horrible kicks are coming off the boot of Ben Youngs and Sarries are struggling to get it in.
Tigers on the cusp of the 22 centre-field...
Leicester 0-10 Saracens
Lovely move by Saracens of the top of the line put them into Tigers territory.
Series of drives gets them into the 22, then the ball is fizzed to the left but Alex Goode's pass has to bounce before Chris Wyles can gather and the momentum is lost. He's stalled a couple of metres short.
Sarries switch it right. Surely there's an overlap? Tigers in trouble but the at-the-line ball to cap it off eventually is forward and the move breaks down.
Great pressure, no reward. Tigers were scrambling furiously.
Leicester 0-10 Saracens
Bit of concern for Leicester flanker Mike Williams, he's with the physio. Eventually he's free to return and we'll get this scrum set.
Sarries get a penalty at the scrum. Logovi'i Mulipola the man pinged. Alex Goode just thumps it out and Sarries will march downfield...

Saracens scrum on their five-metre line but Leicester push and almost force a mistake.
Ben Spencer is forced into an exit box kick from close to his own line.
Leicester pluck it out of the air and they're back on the offensive. Pendulum has swung back to the Tigers now...
Scrum goes Tigers way for accidental offside.
Leicester 0-10 Saracens
Right, let's get a grip here.
Saracens have Calum Clark off for a head injury assessment, Schalk Burger is on.
Leicester have a penalty and bang it to touch... rolling maul is forced into a mistake.
Sarries survive. Tigers looked dangerous then.
Leicester 0-10 Saracens
10 for Jonny. He stuck out a hand and that denied Sarries the near-certain try.
Penalty try, con Farrell
So the penalty try was awarded as the TMO believes Sean Maitland would have scored otherwise.
Saracens enjoying a comfortable start at the cauldron which is Welford Road.
Leicester 0-3 Saracens
Sarries making headway as they bash away at the Tigers defensive line across the field.
Ben Spencer has a little snipe after a few big 'uns have had a dig. Then Mako Vunipola is chopped down! Desperate.
Ball swung right with pace, Sarries work an overlap... ball is sent wide to the right for Sean Maitland by Marcelo Bosch but Jonny May sticks out a hand?! Deliberate knock-on???
Leicester 0-3 Saracens
Saracens definitely enjoying the best of these early skirmishes. Tom Youngs looks to hold up a Saracens maul but instead collapses it.
Ben Spencer hammers the touchfinder a long way... now a driving maul off the line-out deep in the Tigers 22...
Owen Farrell
Who else? Owen Farrell gobbles up the freebie after Leicester indiscipline and Sarries move in front.
Leicester 0-0 Saracens
Heavy artillery in the shape of Jackson Wray softens up the Leicester defence. Then Ben Youngs comes over the top to tackle Ben Spencer before he'd got the ball out of the ruck.
Penalty to the visitors in shooting range. Mind you, anywhere within 50 metres is shooting range for Owen Farrell.
Leicester 0-0 Saracens
Lovely bit of skill from Alex Lozowski after a string of traded kicks, just dinking one over the top to pin Tigers back in their 22.
Great to have a 12 like him who is adept at 10, best of both worlds.
Tigers pump it down field and Saracens come forward... Chris Wyles down the left. Good work by Sarries to stretch the play! In the 22...

Leicester and Saracens exchange kicks, before George Ford calls a mark and pumps to touch.
Nothing fancy from either side yet. All very tight...
Leicester 0-0 Saracens
Scrappy start as a box-kick from Ben Spencer finds Sione Kalamafoni on the left and he whizzes a wild ball infield to Leicester teammate George Ford, who knocks on.
Sarries play advantage, but then spill in contact. Scrum Tigers.
Leicester 0-0 Saracens
Matt Carley gives us the signal, toots on his little whistle.
Leicester hoy it down field and we are off.
Merry Christmas Eve everyone...
Leicester v Saracens (15:00 GMT)
Right, not far away. Really good crowd at Welford Road, where the atmosphere sounds good.
Sarries are out, Tigers just joining them...

Premiership
Image source, Getty ImagesAfter their own wobbles, Wasps are beginning to look ominously good. Mind you it's a good job they keep rattling in the points because they do concede a few too.
Anyway here's the weekend's results so far.
Little word too for Newcastle Falcons back-rower Mark Wilson, who hit 200 appearances yesterday. Outstanding effort. Should have more England recognition for me.
