Bath and Harlequins will meet for the second time in a week on Friday as they go head to head at the Recreation Ground in the Aviva Premiership.

Quins defeated the West Country side 21-12 at Twickenham Stoop seven days ago in the LV= Cup.

Another win for Conor O'Shea's men this time around will see them keep their place at the top of the Aviva Premiership table.

Bath welcome captain Stuart Hooper back to the side, while Josh Ovens and Semesa Rokoduguni will make their first league starts for the club.

Nick Evans returns from an ankle injury for the visitors and Ugo Monye, George Robson and Jordan Turner-Hall will also feature after being released from the England squad.
