Saracens F.C. returns to North London for their first home league match of the season Sunday with a chance to turn a dramatic opening-weekend victory into a 2-0 start. Saracens escaped Leicester with a 40-38 win in Round 1, while Sale Sharks heads to StoneX Stadium searching for its first victory after a 34-24 home loss to Bristol Bears.

Saracens makes only two forced changes to the starting XV that won at Leicester. Sione Va'enuku makes his Gallagher PREM debut at inside center after Olly Hartley was injured in Round 1, while Jack Bracken starts on the wing in place of the injured Tobias Elliott. Rotimi Segun keeps his spot after scoring twice against Leicester, and Maro Itoje captains the side from the second row.

Sale makes four changes as it looks to respond to its opening loss. Gus Warr starts at scrum-half, Nathan Jibulu comes in at hooker and Nicky Smith starts at loosehead prop. Former Saracen Alex Lozowski starts at inside center alongside Joe Marchant, while Courtney Lawes, Tom Curry and Jacques Vermeulen remain together in the back row.
