Leicester Tigers are preparing for a third successive home game with Newport Gwent Dragons the visitors to Welford Road on Saturday.
After the historic victory against world champions South Africa last time out at Welford Road, Tigers begin their home campaign in the new-look LV= Cup against the Dragons.
The Dragons have begun their season in good form and are sixth in the Magners League, second in their Heineken Cup pool behind Biarritz and began their LV= Cup campaign with victory over Sale Sharks last weekend.
Tigers head coach Richard Cockerill said: “Newport have had a good start to the season. They are a good side and I know (head coach) Paul Turner who is a very well organised coach. They play some good stuff.
“We will have to treat them with respect and need to make sure we get our things right.
“We will put a strong side out. We are playing at home, which is important to us and we need to build some momentum going into the league.”
Tickets for the game, which kicks off at 3pm on Saturday, are available now from the Tigers ticket office on 0844 856 1880 or online.
