Leeds Carnegie have named an unchanged side for their visit to Twickenham Stoop when they will be aiming to secure their first win of the Aviva Premiership season against Harlequins on Sunday.
The same side who collected a losing bonus point against Exeter last week will make the trip to the Capital as Leeds look to end their eight-game losing run in the Aviva Premiership this season and for their first win over Quins since April 2005.
Meanwhile, after last Friday's frustrating defeat to Leicester Tigers at Welford Road, Quins will be determined to continue winning ways at the Stoop, which has seen them unbeaten in five straight home games.
Joe Marler is the only change to the starting XV that faced Leicester. The bench sees the return of Pete Browne and Rory Clegg.
"We have a huge respect for Leeds who, despite having a tough time of it in the Aviva Premiership Rugby, have shown like every team that unless you are at your best in this league you will lose," said Harlequins Director of Rugby Conor O'Shea.
"Andy Key and Neil Back are two great coaches and they will have their team up for every game they play and we know Sunday will be a fiercely contested game."
