Sale v Worcester (Fri)
Premiership bottom club Sale recall fly-half Danny Cipriani and bring back Tom Brady on the wing for Friday night's visit of Worcester Warriors.
Cipriani was dropped for Saturday's 25-18 defeat at Wasps following stinging criticism from co-owner Brian Kennedy.
Worcester are unchanged as Richard Hill's men chase a first away win.
And the Warriors, who have two Sale old boys - Chris Jones and Dean Schofield - are fired up to repeat their 23-16 win over Sale at Sixways two months ago.
Jones will be at lock forward alongside skipper James Percival, while Schofield is on the bench and may feature against his old club.
Hill makes just one change to his bench, recalling prop Rob O'Donnell, while centre Alex Grove is set to mark a century of appearances for the Warriors, who have had use of the University of Worcester's indoor pitch at their city centre campus after their training ground was left drenched by this week's wet weather.
Bottom club Sale, who have won just one of their 11 league games this season, have centre Sam Tuitupou up against his old club, while Alasdair Dickinson has recovered from his shoulder problems and is on the bench alongside Cameron Shepherd and former Wales scrum-half Dwayne Peel.
Sale play their final game of 2012 five points adrift at the bottom, but the Sharks picked up a losing bonus point at Wasps with a last-minute converted try from Jonny Leota.
And, apart from Brady's return for their first start since last month's 21-9 win over London Irish, they have the mercurial Cipriani back too.
Kennedy was reported as saying after Sale's 62-0 Heineken Cup defeat in Toulon: "Danny didn't want to tackle last week.
"If you're not prepared to put your body on the line for this club, who pay your wages and give you the chance to play at the highest level each week, then you won't be in the squad, will you!"
VIEW FROM THE TRAINING GROUND
Worcester coach Richard Hill: "I am surprised where Sale are in the league with the squad they have got. You look at their line-up and they have got some real stars. "They have undoubted star quality and, if they gel, they are a very good team. On their day they can beat anyone. "I have watched them play the last few games and every time you hear from their coaches the name Worcester has been mentioned. "They have looked at this game as one they have got to win to get themselves out of trouble. There is no doubt they will have targeted us. "The teams at the bottom will keep their powder dry for certain games and they will go for teams in the bottom six. But we want to continue our good run of form over recent weeks and finish 2012 on a high."
