Wasps v Saracens: Teams

Wasps head coach Shaun Edwards has made four changes to his side to face Saracens at Adams Park in the Aviva Premiership on Sunday.

The alterations come following defeat to Leicester as David Lemi and Joe Simpson return in the back-line and John Hart and Andy Powell start in the pack.

David Lemi returns to the wing after recovering from injury and Joe Simpson takes back the nine jersey after being released by England, forcing Nic Berry to the bench.

Andy Powell returns after recovering from injury to start at number eight, while John Hart returns at six and Joe Worsley moves to seven, forcing Serge Betsen and Joe Launchbury to the bench.

Boost

Saracens have never won at Adams Park in seven meetings and Wasps will hope to keep that perfect record intact this weekend and will go into the game with a lot of confidence.

Meanwhile, Saracens make the trip to High Wycombe boosted by the return of centre Adam Powell to the matchday squad.

Powell, who has been missing for the past three months after shoulder surgery, is on the bench and is in line to make his 100th appearance for the club.

In other team news, Schalk Brits, David Strettle and Rodd Penney return as changes to the line-up from the team that beat Leeds Carnegie 39-0 last week.

Jamie George swaps with Brits to take up a place on the bench along with James Short while Mouritz Botha returns on rotation.
