Harlequins v Northampton Saints: Full team news for Friday's cup clash

Both players start as Saints name a strong side, with Anthony Belleau, who has recovered from the concussion he sustained in the Gallagher PREM win at Sale Sharks last month, lining up at fly-half.

Loosehead prop West celebrated his 30th birthday earlier this week and has overcome the knee injury sustained at Bristol Bears in November to start against Quins.

Litchfield also suffered an injury in that game at Bristol, but he has recovered from the hamstring issue and will also start at the Twickenham Stoop.

Litchfield is part of a hugely talented backline that also includes the likes of Ollie Sleightholme and James Ramm.

Tom Lockett will captain the team this week, allaying injury fears after he was forced off in the most recent outing, against Leicester Tigers.

There are two guest players on the Saints bench, with hooker Ben Alexander, from Old Albanians, and loosehead prop Joe Cowell, from Cardiff, set to make their debuts for the black, green and gold.

Also in line for a first senior appearance is Under-18s forward Jack Lewis, son of former Saints player Mark Lewis.

Emeka Atuanya, Will Glister, Curtis Langdon, Henry Lumley and Edoardo Todaro, who suffered a knee injury on Italy duty, are on the 'not considered for selection' list this week.

The following players are on international duty: Alex Coles, Fraser Dingwall, Trevor Davison, Tommy Freeman, George Furbank, Emmanuel Iyogun, Alex Mitchell, Henry Pollock and Fin Smith (all England), Rory Hutchinson and Elliot Millar Mills (both Scotland), Danilo Fischetti (Italy), Aiden Ainsworth-Cave, James Pater, Oliver Scola, Sonny Tonga’uiha, and Jonny Weimann (England U20s).
