James Phillips is selected to start in the back row, while hooker Mark Regan is named on the bench for his last game for the club.
Head coach Paul Hull said: “Leicester are at the top of the league and are guaranteed a home slot but I'm sure they'll want to stay top. They will want to keep some momentum leading into their Heineken Cup semi-final. Their motivation will be high.
“We're now relegated so we're motivated for different reasons, for example, it will be the last game in a Bristol shirt for a few players.
“We always expect a physical game against Leicester, so we’ve reflected that in our split on the bench.”
