Perpignan are the Saturday tea-time visitors to Kingsholm and they'll face a Gloucester side which looks to have plenty of tries in it.
In all there are eight changes from the side which beat Sarries including a back three which will feature Louis Rees-Zammit, Ollie Thorley and Kyle Moyle. Add Chris Harris and Mark Atkinson to the backs division and there's some real potency.
The big news in the pack is the return of Ed Slater. He was injured against Tigers on the second weekend of the Premiership and will be relishing the opportunity to restart his season against a French side whjo George Skivington says are a big physical side.
They've won one and lost one of their two games so far in a group where Lyon are unbeaten, and eight points ahead of Gloucs, although they have played one game more.
So, the win is important and this is the side to deliver.
Gloucs: 15. Kyle Moyle 14. Louis Rees-Zammit 13. Chris Harris 12. Mark Atkinson 11. Ollie Thorley 10. Adam Hastings 9. Stephen Varney
