Bath head of rugby Johann van Graan has restored Arundell to the wing and de Glanville to fullback after both returned from injury. Carreras suffered a season-ending ACL injury against Gloucester, while academy prop Claudius Wheeler could make his professional debut off the bench. Ben Spencer captains the hosts alongside fly-half Finn Russell.

Sale Sharks director of rugby Alex Sanderson has made five changes following a 17-3 defeat to Newcastle Red Bulls. Gus Warr returns at scrum-half, Alex Lozowski starts in midfield, and Ben and Tom Curry retain their places in the back row. Ernst van Rhyn captains the Sharks, who are also without Courtney Lawes because of illness.
