Unbeaten pool leaders Connacht will be looking to add the gloss to their Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-final qualification in Madrid on Saturday.
The Western Irish province have recorded an impressive five wins from five in the second tier competition this season and it is expected to become six in Spain.
Head coach Michael Bradley has once again named his strongest side with fly-half Ian Keatley directing operations alongside former Leicester scrum-half Frank Murphy.
The back three is once again Liam Bibo and Fionn Carr on the wings, either side of full-back Troy Nathan, who continues to fill in for the injured Gavin Duffy.
