Sharples was man-of-the-match in the 33-26 win over Harlequins on Saturday

Gloucester winger Charlie Sharples believes his side are capable of overcoming Leicester when they host the Tigers in the Premiership on Saturday.

The Cherry and Whites have won all three Premiership matches at Kingsholm so far this season.

"I definitely think we can come away with a win," the 21-year-old told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.

"We've got some great form at home so we won't be going into the game expecting anything less."

Sharples was both a try scorer and man of the match as Gloucester beat Harlequins last Saturday 33-26 while Leicester triumphed 21-15 against Bath.

"They've have got a strong set piece, they're able to control the game well and have some good individual players," he said.

"But we'll go into it like we go into every game, trying to play the way we play."

"If we can play like we did in the first half against Quins we can definitely finish in the top four [of the Premiership]."
