Saracens could top the Aviva Premiership table on Saturday night with a win at Bath.

Mark McCall's side are currently just one point and one place below league leaders Harlequins in the standings.

Meanwhile, Bath can make it three consecutive wins in all competitions if they see off their opponents this weekend.

The home side have made six changes in total for the match as Nick Abendanon, Horacio Agulla and captain Stuart Hooper all return.

Sarries bring in three new faces to their squad in the form of Chris Wyles, Mako Vunipola and Andy Saull. Alex Goode and Brad Barritt are rested for the clash.
