Kyle Eastmond and Adam Thompstone return to Leicester’s backline for the Premiership visit of bottom side Sale.
Manu Tuilagi misses out with a leg injury while Thompstone replaces Jonah Holmes, who drops to the Tigers’ bench.
Leicester also hand Ben White a first Premiership start of the season as England scrum-half Ben Youngs drops to the bench following a knock in the defeat by Worcester last Sunday.
Youngs and Tuilagi both missed England’s training camp in Bristol this week as a precaution.
