from a tigers perspective I feel this may be grim

Saracens will be looking to close the gap between them and leaders Wasps with a win today, while Leicester will hope they can force their way towards the top 4, while they currently trail 4th place Bath by 6 points. When these two sides met earlier in the season, it was Saracens that came out better off, having secured a 24-10 win at home. Stay tuned for live updates as we await kick off.
