Exeter Chiefs will wrap up another action-packed weekend of rugby on BT Sport when they travel to rivals Worcester Warriors on Sunday (3pm).

Rob Baxter's side make their second trip of the season to Sixways looking to return to winning ways in the Gallagher Premiership following their narrow 13-10 loss at Bath last time out.

Worcester, like the Chiefs, will also be looking to bounce back after they went down 35-16 to league leaders Northampton Saints last Saturday.

Referee Tom Foley takes charge of the fixture in what will be his 69th top flight fixture.

First up on Friday night, Harlequins travel to Franklin's Gardens to face top of -the-table Northampton Saints, which will be live on BT Sport 1 and BT Sport Ultimate from 7pm.

Chris Boyd’s side have enjoyed an ideal start in their opening two games, with victories over Saracens and Worcester Warriors. Harlequins, on the other hand, lost their opening game against the Chiefs, but then bounced back with victory over Bristol Bears last time out.

On Saturday, second-placed Gloucester Rugby travel north to Welford Road to take on Leicester Tigers.

The Tigers have had a difficult start to the season, losing to Worcester and Saracens, while by contrast Gloucester have beaten Sale Sharks and Wasps.

The game will kick off at 3pm on Saturday, with coverage starting on BT Sport 2 and BT Sport Ultimate at 2.30pm.

The final televised game of the weekend comes on Sunday afternoon as Worcester square off against the Chiefs. Coverage starts at 2.30pm on BT Sport 2 and BT Sport Ultimate

Both teams sit in the middle of the Gallagher Premiership Rugby table with a win and a defeat from their opening two games.

Should you miss any of the live action, Channel 5 has you covered on Monday night, with the highlights show airing at 7pm.
