The players heading to Twickenham today for Leicesters first Premiership final in nine years

The Leicester Tigers are heading to Twickenham today, with potential victory seeing them crowned champions of England for the first time in nine years.

With 20 wins over the course of the season, giving them a total of 94 points, the team topped the league standings heading into the semi-finals.

It wasn't plain sailing in the semis though as they had to come from behind to beat Northampton Saints to book their place in the capital for the final.

A win for the team today will see the Tigers crowned champions for the first time since 2013.

Head coach Steve Borthwick has named his squad for Saturday’s encounter.

The side includes just five players with previous Premiership Final experience, with the trio of Dan Coles, George Ford and Ben Youngs the only members from the club’s last outing in a decider nine seasons ago.

Here at ITV News we have pulled together a list of some of the top players to watch out for today in what is an historic match for the tigers.
