Leicester Tigers look to maintain their unbeaten record in the Premiership Cup away to Bedford Blues with head coach Dan McKellar naming a new-look side for the final group game in Pool B.
Bedford enter the contest having bested their fellow Championship clubs Ampthill and Caldy and having put in a good performance against Newcastle in round two.
A powerful Leicester display against Falcons last time out saw Tigers run away with a 60-7 victory, McKellar rotating his more experienced campaigners this week to allow some of the club’s up-and-coming talent to get their opportunity this week.
