Second-placed Saints will reclaim top spot if they win and Exeter lose, and they have been lifted for the encounter by half-backs Dan Biggar and Cobus Reinach both shaking off knocks to start.

Chris Boyd has made three changes to the pack that helped see off Gloucester last time out at Franklin’s Gardens, with club captain Alex Waller and tighthead Paul Hill coming into the front row either side of Mikey Haywood.

The other switch sees David Ribbans start his first match since mid-November at lock, with Courtney Lawes moving into the back row and Alex Moon keeping his spot in the engine room.

Prop Tom West features for Wasps, meanwhile, as a solitary change to the side that beat Bristol. West replaces Ben Harris, who has a shoulder injury, while other loosehead props Zurabi Zhvania (knee) and Simon McIntyre (concussion) are also sidelined.

Wasps rugby director Dai Young said: "We've got to try and back up last week's win with another good performance.

"We have a massive game coming up, and we are going to have to be better against what is one of the top teams in the division at the minute. They have got the platform upfront to be able to play the game they want, but they've also got some real pace."
