Team News

Saracens Director of Rugby Mark McCall has made three alterations to the starting XV from the side that beat the Sharks, with all the changes coming in the pack.

England hooker Jamie George gets his first start of the season, while Hugh Tizard and Nick Isiekwe partner in the second row due to the absence of the injured Maro Itoje.

Theo McFarland is the third fresh face, as he joins Ben Earl and Tom Willis in the back row.

As for the Chiefs, skipper Scott Sio misses out so hooker Jack Yeandle gets the armband in a front row that includes Will Goodrick-Clarke and Marcus Street.

Jack Dunne comes into the second-row, while there’s a call-up for number eight Greg Fisilau.

Will Haydon-Wood impressed off the bench against Northampton and gets a start at fly-half, while Ben Hammersley has completed his HIA return to play protocol and gets a start on the left wing.

Saracens are the heavy 1/10 favourites to claim the win, while Exeter are 6/1 to stun the home crowd and leave the capital with the victory.

Saracens -20 handicap @ 13/10

Exeter have lost all of their last five visits to StoneX Stadium in the Premiership in what have all been one-sided defeats for the Chiefs.

Looking back over those last five games in the capital, the average losing margin for Exeter was 24 points.

With Saracens averaging 40 points a game in attack in their opening two Premiership games of the season, Sarries look more than capable of falling on the right side of the handicap here and condemning Exeter to another heavy defeat at StoneX Stadium.
