Full-back Nick Abendanon will make his 200th appearance for Bath Rugby tomorrow night after being named in the starting line-up to face Sale Sharks in the Aviva Premiership at The Rec (7.45pm).
Prop Nathan Catt is also in line to hit a major milestone. Should he be called on from the bench, the loosehead will make his 100th appearance for his home club.
Abendanon retains his place following a scintillating performance in last week's bonus-point win over London Irish, with Anthony Watson and Semesa Rokoduguni lining up on the wings.
Kyle Eastmond and Ollie Devoto continue their midfield combination, as do George Ford and Peter Stringer in the half-backs.
The only change comes in the pack, with Guy Mercer replacing the injured Francois Louw at openside flanker. Matt Garvey and Leroy Houston continue on the blindside and at number eight respectively.
Stuart Hooper captains the side from the second-row, where he is partnered by Dave Attwood, and international props Paul James and David Wilson scrum down either side of Ross Batty at hooker.
Sale travel south with the same 23-man squad that beat previous league leaders Northampton Saints last Saturday.
The only change to the starting line-up sees Andrei Ostrikov come into the second-row as Jonathan Mills drops to the bench.
Tickets for Friday's match are still available. Individual adult tickets start at just £24 and groups of five or more can save up to £10 per ticket.
