Preview: Saracens vs. Northampton Saints

The second Aviva Premiership semi-final takes place on Sunday as Saracens welcome Northampton Saints to the Allianz Park.

Sarries, who finished the regular season at the top of the table, come into the match with three consecutive wins against their opponents, including a dramatic 17-16 triumph back in December.

Northampton's job is made even more difficult by the fact that their hosts have not been beaten at home in 2013.

However, the Saints will be buoyed by their run of three straight victories to end the campaign.

Saracens have brought in two new faces for the clash as Will Fraser and Alex Goode both return to the starting XV.

Meanwhile, James Wilson replaces the injured George Pisi in the only change for the visitors.
