Saracens director of rugby Alan Gaffney has made a total of five changes to the side which was convincingly beaten at Gloucester ahead of this weekend's visit of Wasps.
That reverse at Kingsholm may have ended any realistic hopes Saracens had of making the play-offs, but they will take on a Wasps side bang in form and up to third in the Guinness Premiership table.
Gaffney admits he is expecting a bruising encounter on Sunday and has freshened up his pack in preparation.
Nick Lloyd, Fabio Ongaro and Cencus Johnston come in to form a new-look front row, while Paul Gustard is restored to the back row.
Gaffney makes only one change to his back-line with Francisco Leonelli getting the nod ahead of Richard Haughton on the wing.
Wasps face their third game in nine days at Vicarage Road and, as a result, coach Ian McGeechan has again opted to shuffle his pack.
Most of the changes come in the pack where Tom French and Pat Barnard line up in place of Tim Payne and the injured Phil Vickery.
Tom Palmer is preferred to Richard Birkett in the second row and Lawrence Dallaglio and Joe Worsley return to the back row with John Hart and James Haskell making way.
The only change to the back division sees Dominic Waldouck named in place of Fraser Waters at outside centre.
