Bristol and Leicester each make three changes to their starting lineups ahead of Friday's Premiership meeting.
Bristol and Leicester have both named their teams for Friday's Premiership meeting, and each coach has made three changes to the starting XV.
For Bristol, the headline is the return of three players to the first-choice lineup. Getting those names back into the mix gives the side fresh energy and, presumably, a more settled look as they prepare for a high-profile Prem fixture.
Leicester have also tweaked their selection with three alterations of their own. It is a measured rejig rather than a wholesale overhaul, which suggests the coaching staff are happy with the broad shape of the side but want to adjust things for this particular opponent.
With both teams making the same number of changes, the contest promises to be tightly matched on paper. Friday's kick-off will show whether the selection calls pay off, and whether Bristol's returning trio or Leicester's reshuffled group make the bigger early impact.
