Saracens bring in scrum-half Richard Wigglesworth and back row Kelly Brown for the injured Neil de Kock and Justin Melck respectively.<\/b><\/p>\n

Prop Matt Stevens and lock Steve Borthwick are included to face their former club and Jacques Burger is back on the bench after six weeks out. <\/p>\n

Bath make three changes to the side that lost 37-6 to Leicester last week. <\/p>\n

Lock Peter Short makes his first appearance since November, replacing Danny Grewcock. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the backs Shontayne Hape comes in for Sam Vesty at centre and Matt Carraro replaces Tom Biggs on the wing. <\/p>\n

\n

Bath defence and skills coach Brad Davis told BBC Points West:<\/b>
“We know they’re a tough team to crack, they’re good defensively and in our situation we’re looking at it as a must-win match for us.<\/p>\n

Bath’s Davis wary of Stevens threat<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

“From a coach that’s worked with him (Matt Stevens) for two or three years I’m just glad he’s back on the field doing what he does best. <\/p>\n

“He’s a dynamic ball carrier and one of the best props in the business when he’s got the ball in hand but we’ve got plan that will hopefully curtail that.” <\/p>\n

\n

Saracens:<\/b> Goode; Strettle, Wyles, Barritt, Short; Farrell, Wigglesworth; Stevens, Brits, Nieto; Borthwick (capt), Smith; Brown, Saull, Joubert. <\/p>\n

Replacements:<\/b> George, Gill, du Plessis, Botha, Burger, Barrett, Powell, Cato. <\/p>\n

Bath:<\/b> Abendanon, Banahan, Williams, Hape, Carraro, James, Claassens, Flatman, Mears, Bell, Hooper, Short, Skirving, Watson (capt), Taylor. <\/p>\n

Replacements:<\/b> Dixon, Catt, Wilson, Fernandez Lobbe, Mercer, McMillan, Vesty, Cuthbert <\/p>\n
