Lock Will Witty comes into the Exeter Chiefs starting XV for the defending champions' Premiership trip to Leicester Tigers today (1500ko) as Sam Skinner has been recalled for international duty with Scotland, who visit Ireland. 

Witty is the sole change up front while Stu Townsend (pictured) gets his first start of the season at scrum-half.

A shin injury to Olly Woodburn means Ian Whitten shunts to the wing with Tom Hendrickson coming into the centre alongside Ollie Devoto.

On the bench, James Kenny, Tom Price and Josh Hodge are all added to the side which saw off Bath last time out.
