Sky Sports have announced details of the Champions Cup quarter-finals between Saracens and Northampton, as well as Racing 92 v Toulon.

In a repeat of last season's Aviva Premiership semi-final, unbeaten Saracens take on their domestic rivals at Allianz Park after finishing as top seeds of the pool stages.

Northampton nabbed the last qualifier place, finishing as eighth seeds to set up a clash between the two English giants.

The sides have already met once this season, with Saracens coming away with a 12-6 victory at Franklin's Gardens thanks to the boot of Owen Farrell.

In another scintillating derby, four-in-a-row-chasing Toulon take on Dan Carter's Racing 92 at Stade Yves-du-Manoir in a titanic battle between the Top 14 powerhouses. 

Carter led his side to the top of Pool 3, where they secured big wins over Glasgow and Scarlets at home.

Toulon qualified as one of the best runners-up after beating Bath in their final pool game

Toulon finished second in their pool, losing to Wasps at the Ricoh Arena in the second round of fixtures, but would not have qualified for the knock-out stages at all if not for a late try from Drew Mitchell in the return fixture and final round win at Bath.
