Sale v Bath
Venue: Edgeley Park Date: Friday, 27 March Kick-off: 1945
Sale welcome back England trio Andrew Sheridan, Mathew Tait and Mark Cueto for a match vital to their lingering Guinness Premiership play-off hopes.
Scotland flanker Jason White also returns after Test duty, but Sebastien Chabal and Luke McAlister are injured.
Bath, five points ahead of Sale in fifth place with a game in hand, bring back fly-half Ryan Davis after injury.
Davis is one of five changes in the back division, while David Barnes and Jonny Faamatuainu come into the pack.
Bath could move into the top two with victory at Edgeley Park, the first of three league fixtures in nine days which has had an impact on their team selection.
Sale have lost their last four league games and a fifth straight defeat could see the end of their play-offs hopes.
Sale: McLeod; Cueto, M Tait, Thomas, Ripol; Hodgson, Wigglesworth; Sheridan, Bruno, Roberts, C Jones, Cockbain, White, Briggs, Fernandez Lobbe.
Replacements: Faure, Turner, Cox, D Tait, Peel, Keil, Kuadey.
