Dai Young's side have won three of their last four matches in the league and go into the contest in sixth place.

Meanwhile, Bath have lost two and drawn one of their previous three league games, but they did record a 30-23 victory over Wasps at the Recreation Ground earlier in the season.

Christian Wade and James Haskell both return for the hosts, while Stephen Jones is promoted from the bench.

Bath have recalled Nick Abendanon, Stuart Hooper and Dominic Day for the clash.
