With Will Greenwood still away on international duty, Mel Deane continues to partner Dafydd James in the centre. Simon Keogh and George Harder are on the left and right wing respectively, meaning Ugo Monye is once again amongst the replacements.

In the pack, Simon Miall and Roy Winters are in the second row, with recent signing Simon Maling on the bench for the fourth consecutive game.

"As pleasing as it has been to get back-to-back victories under our belt, we still have a lot of work to do to get ourselves away from the wrong end of the Zurich Premiership table," said Mark Evans, NEC Harlequins Chief Executive. "Another win on Sunday will pull us closer to those teams sitting in seventh, eighth and ninth place, and put us in with a good opportunity of climbing the ladder further when the league campaign resumes at the end of next month."

"However, we can expect to feel a backlash from Leeds as they will be seething at letting victory slip through their fingers in injury time at home to Bath last Friday. They have already picked up victories at London Irish and Saracens this season, and will be determined to make it a hat-trick of wins over the London clubs on Sunday."
