Bath can overtake Northampton Saints in the Aviva Premiership table on Saturday with victory at Franklin's Gardens.
The West Country club are currently three points behind their opponents following two consecutive wins in the league.
However, a triumph for the Saints could see them move to within a point of the playoff places.
Mike Haywood and Ben Nutley have been drafted into the Northampton lineup in place of England duo Dylan Hartley and Courtney Lawes.
Meanwhile, Bath bring in Rob Webber, Charlie Beech, Anthony Perenise and Tom Heathcote as Stephen Donald misses out through injury.
