After last weekend's European win over the Scarlets, Leicester Tigers retain the same matchday squad for Saturday's return to the Aviva Premiership at home to Bath.
The only changes to the starting line-up are in the front row where Boris Stankovich and Dan Cole start, with Marcos Ayerza and Martin Castrogiovanni reverting to the replacements.
"Tigers against Bath is one of the big traditional rivalries in English rugby and we've had so many big games in all competitions over the years," said Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill.
"We had a good win over Scarlets last weekend and now the challenge to the players is to back that up. We want to replicate that intensity and that commitment every week.
"It was great to get Toby Flood and Anthony Allen back from injury last week. They came through it well and their experience is important in the squad.
