Sharks' Director of Rugby Bryan Redpath said, "Our last home performance was unacceptable. In some ways, we improved last weekend but still lost the game. We're against a formidable side in Leicester Tigers, so we've got to restore some pride and play with plenty of passion. Our challenge on Friday is to be at our best."
England scrum half Ben Youngs returns for the Tigers after his recovery from a shoulder injury suffered in the second Test in South Africa in June. Manu Tuilagi also returns to the Tigers starting line-up after missing the last two games.
Former London Irish flanker Richard Thorpe is in line for his Tigers debut alongside Thomas Waldrom and captain Jordan Crane in the back row.
