Ricky Pellow says Exeter Chiefs will look to attack from the outset when they face rivals Bath in Sunday's LV= Cup battle at the Recreation Ground (1pm).
A 19-5 win over holders Harlequins - courtesy of a Sireli Naqelevuki try and 14 points from the boot of Ceri Sweeney - gave the Chiefs the ideal start to their domestic cup campaign at Sandy Park a week ago.
Now, though, the Devon club will make the short trek up the M5 this weekend not only looking to maintain their winning formula, but at the same time record a first win over their hosts since 1978.
Devon's X Factor hopeful Luke Friend appears to be currying favour with one of the judge's biggest fans. The 17-year-old tweeted a picture of himself with Kelly Osbourne, daughter of Sharon, before tonight's show (above).

Not safe…" Luke, from Teignmouth, received a mixed reaction from the judges last night when he performed his big band number Moondance by Van Morrison.

Devon's Luke Friend wowed the judges on last night's X Factor with his rendition of Seal's Kiss From A Rose.
Gary Barlow described his performance as the 'surprise of the night' and told him he'd come a long way in the competition.
Luke, 17, even washed his trademark flowing locks with shampoo (he usually only uses water) for his appearance.
Sharon Osbourne was also full of prasie for Luke. She told him: "You have such a distinctive vocal sound. You definitely have an edge you are definitely dirty.
"Your vocals have come on so far in the last three weeks...
I am absolutely overwhelmed and honoured to be blessed with the title of Employer of the Year for the Venus Awards for Devon 2013, very kindly sponsored by Cathedral Appointments.

What she didn't realise in 2010 when it started, is what a difference that decision would make to local women. The Devon winners were announced last Thursday...
