Preview: London Wasps vs. Northampton Saints

London Wasps host Northampton Saints at Adams Park in the Aviva Premiership tomorrow, with just two places separating the sides in the table.

Tom Palmer returns to the starting lineup for the home side after a three-month absence with a calf injury.

Joe Launchbury, James Haskell and Andrea Masi are also included in the squad following the conclusion of the Six Nations last weekend.

Meanwhile, Saints have made just one change to the side that beat London Irish earlier this month, with Dom Waldouck coming into the starting lineup.
