Edinburgh will look to build on their win over Aironi when they entertain the Dragons at Murrayfield on Friday.
Edinburgh stormed to a 32-15 victory over the Magners League bottom side last time out - and with just two games left of the regular season interim coach Nick Scrivener wants his side to finish on a high.
Scrivener, who will leave club at the end of the season to return to Australia, said: "It's vitally important that we build on the many good things we saw against Aironi, both to finish the season as strongly as possible and to make sure our fans have something to celebrate come Friday night."
Edinburgh have made four changes to their line-up, with Ross Rennie, Stuart McInally, Nick De Luca and Chris Paterson coming into the side.
Roddy Grant, Frazier McKenzie, Ben Cairns and James King all miss out through injury.

Evans, 18, is joined in the starting XV by Matthew Pewtner, with Adam Hughes switching to full-back.
