Saracens return to Wembley Stadium on Saturday when they welcome London neighbours Harlequins in front of the Sky Sports cameras.
It's the fourth time that the North London club has hosted a match at the iconic stadium this season and director of rugby Brendan Venter has made just one change as he bids to make it four wins from four at the venue.
Chris Wyles (rib) misses out from the team that beat Sale last weekend, and that means that Rodd Penney takes his place on the wing.
There are no other changes to the matchday 23 for what promises to be a fantastic day out with great entertainment both on and off the pitch.
"Off the field, fans will be treated to some fantastic entertainment while on it, our job as coaches and players is to make sure we are fully prepared to deliver our own performance," explained Venter, whose side have won against Northampton, Worcester and South Africa at Wembley this season.
Exciting
"We have been pleased with the performances in recent weeks and that is testament to the hard work we have put in all season.
"We are starting to see the real potential and talent in this group of players and it promises to not only make for an exciting few weeks ahead, but also the years to come."
Meanwhile, Quins fans will only see one change to the starting line-up that defeated Leeds Carnegie in a spectacular display last week at the Stoop, where the London side ran in six tries, taking both the win and a much needed bonus point.
With Bath, Quins and Gloucester sitting in sixth, seventh and eighth place, and only one point between each, the remaining games of this season's Guinness Premiership should ensure an exciting climax.
After impressing the coaches with a strong performance, which also earned him his first try of the season, Chris Brooker starts in the front row, partnering Ceri Jones and John Andress. Matt Cairns returns to the bench.
The only other change to the bench is the return of Ugo Monye.
