Saracens welcome back Richard Hill and Brent Russell for Sunday's Guinness Premiership clash with Harlequins at Vicarage Road.
Hill returns after being rested for last weekend's trip to Newcastle, while Russell plays after recovering from a thigh injury.
Sarries are without Andy Farrell through injury, so Adam Powell comes in, with Kris Chesney and Nick Lloyd also returning to the starting line-up.
Coach Alan Gaffney also includes second row Tom Ryder, with Hugh Vyvyan rested following the birth of his daughter earlier in the week.
Gaffney is expecting a much improved performance after the defeat at Newcastle and said: "The players have reacted well this week.
"We've been able to get results in the past month or so without playing to the levels which we know we are capable of. We've not been accurate enough in terms of our execution.
"We've been creating a number of opportunities in games but we're just not putting them away - something which we have focused on this week."
Harlequins have made only one change from last week's victory over Worcester.
With Nick Easter on international duty with England, Tom Guest returns after a brief injury absence to take over at number eight.
Chris Malone returns on the bench and Will Skinner will captain the side after his man-of-the-match performance against the Warriors.
