Figure image

Leicester Tigers host Northampton Saints at Mattioli Woods Welford Road in Round 16 of the 2022/23 Gallagher Premiership season.

After a fortnight of European action, Tigers return to the league in what will be the 251st East Midlands Derby and 126th meeting between the rivals at Mattioli Woods Welford Road.

The two sides sit equal on the Premiership table with 29 points after five wins each so far this season, separated by just 19 in points difference.

Northampton have been victorious on four of their most recent seven visits to Leicester, while Tigers were the winners, 21-41, when they met earlier this season in Round 3.

Both squads will be without several players who are currently in camp with England as the national side prepare for the 2023 Six Nations, while Saints will be missing Fraser Dingwall and Lukhan Salakaia-Loto after the duo were suspended following an independent Disciplinary Hearing after being sent off in their Heineken Champions Cup match against Stade Rochelais.

Tickets are still available for the Round 4 fixture from the Tigers Ticket Office HERE.
