The Ulstermen lost ground to their southern rivals with a chastening 36-11 defeat in Connacht just before the Autumn Internationals, a shock result that should serve as shot across the bows ahead of the biggest game of the season so far.
Leinster have dominated proceedings in recent years, beating Ulster six times in a row in a hot streak that stretches back to a 96-point classic in December 2019.
However, Johnny Sexton's injury on international duty and the signing of South African star Duane Vermeulen may just tip the balance in Ulster's favour.
