Husband-and-wife pairing Gabby and Chris Adcock will be on opposite sides as University of Nottingham take on Surrey Smashers - live on Sky Sports 4 from 7.30pm.
Olympic hopefuls Gabby and her husband Chris claimed their fourth English National Championship title together following a convincing victory in the mixed doubles final at Derby University.
The pairing, ranked seventh in the world, beat Chris Coles and Sophie Brown 21-11 21-11 in 28 minutes, a win which also secured a ninth national title overall for Gabby.
But now she returns to action for the Smashers, who currently sit in fifth position with six points - two points and two places behind Nottingham, who will have her husband Chris in their line-up, although they won't be going head-to-head.
