Northampton Saints welcome back George Furbank and Ollie Sleightholme to their matchday 23.
Furbank starts at fullback in his first appearance for Saints since April.
Otherwise it’s a familiar Northampton side, with Director of Rugby Phil Dowson opting for a 5/3 bench split.
Curtis Langdon, Temo Mayanavanua, Alex Coles and James Ramm have all been passed fit to start.
Sleightholme is set to come off the bench to feature for the first time since December.
Sam Graham, George Hendy, and Ulster-bound Juarno Augustus are among the players unavailable for the Premiership side due to injury.
