RUGBY HIGHLIGHTS:Premiership: Bath v Saracens (Fri)
Bath and England lock Dave Attwood will play for the first time since December after recovering from neck surgery.
Number eight Amanaki Mafi and wing Horacio Agulla also return as Bath make three changes to the starting XV after beating Gloucester in their last game.
Saracens welcome back Chris Ashton, who has completed his 10-week ban.
Ashton will line up in the back three alongside Alex Goode and Duncan Taylor, with Chris Wyles rested. England's Owen Farrell will continue at fly-half.
Bath lock Dave Attwood told BBC Radio Bristol: "I'm desperate to get an opportunity to get out on the field and start throwing myself around again.
"It's going to be months before I'm fully match fit but functionally and strength-wise I'm pretty much there."
Saracens boss Mark McCall: "Chris Ashton's attitude has been really good. He has worked hard on his game throughout the 10-week period and I know he is itching to get out there playing once again.
"He was in great form before the suspension came along and he's going to provide something different to our team with his X-factor.
"We're looking forward to seeing him back out on the pitch on Friday.
