LINE-UPS have been declared for a massive meeting at the Hydroscand Arena, Beaumont Park on Thursday as Leicester open their league campaign.
The first match in the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership sees them take on Belle Vue, the team who defeated them in last season's Grand Final.
The Watling JCB Lions have started the season with home and away KO Cup wins over Birmingham, and whilst the Aces suffered a heavy KO Cup beating at the hands of Ipswich they have recovered to post a league double over King's Lynn over the past week.
Both teams are at full strength and unchanged from their initial fixtures, with top Aussie Brady Kurtz and British Champion Dan Bewley in town and set to pose a major threat to the Lions.
Full preview for the meeting to follow on Wednesday.
THURSDAY'S LINE-UPS:
LEICESTER: Max Fricke, Luke Becker, Ryan Douglas, Kyle Howarth, Sam Masters, Drew Kemp, Sam Hagon.
BELLE VUE: Brady Kurtz, Norick Blodorn, Jaimon Lidsey, Zach Cook, Dan Bewley, Tate Zischke, Jake Mulford.
