Sports Mole previews Saturday's highly-anticipated Aviva Premiership clash between Northampton and leaders Harlequins.

Northampton Saints host Aviva Premiership leaders Harlequins on Saturday in arguably the pick of this weekend's fixtures.

The Saints currently sit third in the table thanks to two wins from their last three matches and they could top the pile with a victory over Quins.

Meanwhile, Saturday's visitors to Franklin's Gardens are one point clear at the top of the standings despite three defeats in their previous six games.

Northampton have named Courtney Lawes in their starting lineup, while the returns of Joe Marler and James Johnston are among six changes for Quins.
