Harlequins will qualify for the quarter-finals tonight as long as they see off Connacht and Gloucester beat Toulouse in the other Pool 6 clash on Friday night.
Connacht are bottom of Pool 6 with just two points after losing all of their five games so far, while Harlequins are in second spot with 16 points, two points behind Toulouse.
Despite having nothing at all to play for, Connacht coach Eric Elwood will still name his strongest team possible with Ronan Loughney their only change as he comes in at prop in place of Dylan Rogers.
Harlequins, however, have made a number of changes as they look to keep up their end of the bargain. Joe Marler and Chris Brooker will start in the front row in place of Joe Gray and Mark Lambert’
Sam Smith starts on the wing instead of Tom Williams who has been given leave of absence as his wife is set to give birth any day now.
Harlequins are 1/5 odds-on favourites with
