Bristol Bears head to the AJ Bell Stadium on Saturday to take on Sale Sharks in Round 11 of the 2022/23 Gallagher Premiership.
Sale have enjoyed a period of dominance over Bristol Bears in recent seasons, winning four of their last five against the West-Country side, although Pat Lam's side won on their last visit at the AJ Bell Stadium in the last 16 knockout round of the Heineken Champion Cup, only to lose the home leg of the contest.
The Bears are currently on a five-match losing streak in the Premiership, their worst since they ended a six-match losing run in May 2017, but a pair of friendly victories has built some momentum heading into the game.
