Bath Rugby have made two changes to their starting XV ahead of Saturday's showdown with Aviva Premiership champions Northampton Saints at Franklin's Gardens (3.15pm).
Alafoti Fa'osiliva and Olly Woodburn, who touched down during Bath's 45-0 demolition of Leicester Tigers, come in for injured duo Carl Fearns and Matt Banahan at blindside and wing respectively.
Woodburn lines up on the opposite flank to Semesa Rokoduguni, who has scored a try in every appearance this season. Luke Arscott remains at full-back, with Kyle Eastmond and Jonathan Joseph linking up in the midfield. Chris Cook and George Ford continue their partnership in the half-backs.
Fa'osiliva comes in on the blindside flank to join up with Guy Mercer and Leroy Houston, as Stuart Hooper and Dave Attwood combine in the engine room. The scrum is completed by the powerful front row of Paul James, Rob Webber and David Wilson.
Should Charlie Ewels be called into action from the bench, the Academy lock will make his first senior appearance in blue, black and white. Gavin Henson also returns to the matchday 23.
Stephen Myler, Tom Wood and Alex Corbisiero all return to the Northampton team after missing last weekend's victory at Newcastle Falcons.
The game will be preceded by a minute's applause to remember Luis Ghaut, who lost his battle with cancer earlier this week. The Saints management have asked that all supporters who are attending the match be in their seats or terrace area well in advance of the commemoration.
