Matt Banahan will return to Bath Rugby colours on Monday night after being named in the Bath United side to face Saracens Storm in the Aviva A League at The Rec (7.30pm).
Banahan featured in Bath's first three fixtures of the new Aviva Premiership season but missed last Saturday's defeat at Northampton Saints through injury. He starts on the right wing, with George Wacokecoke on the opposite side and Rich Lane at full-back.
Rory Jennings and Max Clark combine in the centres, while scrum-half Micky Young and fly-half Ollie Devoto will be playing from an exciting forward pack.
Nathan Catt, Ross Batty and Kane Palma-Newport start in the front row, with Charlie Ewels taking the captain's armband for the second time this season alongside partner Tom Ellis in the second row.
Blindside flanker David Sisi makes his first appearance of the season in Bath colours following a hand injury suffered in pre-season, with Max Northcote-Green and Tom Woolstencroft at openside and number eight respectively.
Reigning A League champions United are looking for a second win of the campaign having kicked off the defence of their title with a 24-8 win at home to Harlequins a fortnight ago.
Bath United team to face Saracens Storm: 15 Rich Lane, 14 Matt Banahan, 13 Max Clark, 12 Rory Jennings, 11 George Wacokecoke, 10 Ollie Devoto, 9 Micky Young, 1 Nathan Catt, 2 Ross Batty, 3 Kane Palma-Newport, 4 Charlie Ewels (c), 5 Tom Ellis, 6 David Sisi, 7 Max Northcote-Green, 8 Tom Woolstencroft.
