Leicester v Coventry - a rugby matchup that goes back to 1880.
Yes, Leicester faced Saturday's opponents in the club's first season all those years ago. It's been more than 25 years since the last time the two teams faced off, and tomorrow's Premiership Cup clash promises to be fiercely contested from the first whistle.
Coventry are flying in the Championship this season. Indeed after defeating Nottingham in round one of the Cup last week, Coventry arrive to Mattioli Woods Welford Road having won six from six to start the 24/25 season.
Make a matchday of it on Saturday with two Leicester Tigers games on offer for one low price at Mattioli Woods Welford Road!
Both of the club's teams are in action on Saturday afternoon and you can enjoy both fixtures for less than £20 (Adults) and as little as £6 for Under-18s.
The matchday doubles as this season's Remembrance fixture, with a service ahead of the men's game, and a host of activities on offer for supporters of all ages before both games.
