Gloucester: Back from injuries and amongst those who are in contention to line up against Harlequins are former club captain Lewis Ludlow and England international centre duo Seb Atkinson and Will Joseph. Their inclusion should certainly influence the outcome of the match.

Harlequins: Key players Oscar Beard, Chandler Cunningham-Smith and Ben Waghorn have renewed their contracts recently. It will be a boost for Quins who are eager to get a result here after a disappointing start.
