Gloucester Rugby Head Coach, George Skivington, has named the Cherry & Whites side to face Sale Sharks in their final home fixture of the 2022/23 season on Saturday.
Skivington has been boosted by international duo George McGuigan and Adam Hastings's return from long-term injuries.
McGuigan starts at hooker alongside Mayco Vivas and the returning Kirill Gotovtsev in the front row.
Freddie Clarke and Matias Alemanno pack down in the second row.
Ben Morgan is set to make his final Kingsholm appearance before his retirement at the end of the season. He starts at number 8, with Jack Clement and Lewis Ludlow on the flanks.
Stephen Varney, who scored a try in last weekend's derby defeat to Bath, is paired with Hastings in the halfbacks.
Seb Atkinson and Chris Harris fill the centre positions once more, with Louis Rees-Zammit, Jonny May and Santi Carreras in the back three.
On the bench, Billy Twelvetrees is also in line for a Kingsholm farewell. After 11 years of service, he'll be leaving the club at the end of the season.
Twelvetrees is joined by Seb Blake, Harry Elrington, Jamal Ford-Robinson, Cam Jordan, Freddie Thomas, Charlie Chapman and Alex Hearle.
The game kicks off at 5.30pm tomorrow and tickets can still be purchased here.
