All eyes turn to the nation’s capital this Saturday.

After back-to-back wins at Mattioli Woods Welford Road, Michael Cheika’s Leicester Tigers’ are back on the road this week, travelling south to take on Saracens in round six of the Gallagher Premiership.

With England internationals in camp ahead of the Autumn nations series, an intriguing battle awaits in London, Tigers hunting their first win away to Saracens since 2018. 

• Saracens only defeat this season was 10-17 at Harlequins in Round 4.
• Saracens only loss in their last seven home games in Premiership Rugby was 10-20 to Sale in Round 18 last year.
