At the end of November, Gloucester beat Northampton Saints 25-17 away from home before going into the Challenge Cup games against Edinburgh and Vannes. They beat the first mentioned on home soil but suffered a heavy loss in Vannes.

Returning to league action, Gloucester beat Harlequins 14-0 a week before Christmas last year before going down 22-15 at Exeter a week ago.

Gloucester could opt to rotate but considering this is a home game against strong opposition, they should be close to full strength.

Sale Sharks Form

Sale are currently third on the Premiership table with six victories in nine games. They are five points off Bristol in second, mainly due to their poor bonus point haul to date.

The Sharks have some confidence at the moment having won their last three fixtures. Last week, they thrashed Bristol 38-0 away from home.

In the two weeks prior, Sale beat Racing 92 comfortably at home before seeing off Exeter 28-10 at home.
