Saracens need a massive reversal in form if they are to reach the European Rugby Champions Cup quarter-finals. They travel to Bath Rugby in the last 16 just a fortnight after being heavily beaten by them in PREM Rugby. More information in our match preview.
Last season saw Bath fail to qualify for the knockout stages of this competition but go on to win the European Challenge Cup. They won their pool this time around and now face fellow PREM Rugby side Saracens at home. The winner of this match will be at home to either Northampton Saints or Castres Olympique in the last eight. It'll be a tough route to the final as defending champions Bordeaux Begles are the likely semi-final opponents.
Saracens are hoping to return to the glory days when they won the European Rugby Champions Cup on three occasions. They lost 62-15 at Bath last month and have struggled on their travels this season. Can they cause a big shock and reach the last eight?

Bath Rugby & Saracens FC Squad Analysis
Last weekend saw Bath Rugby get a vital away win at Sale Sharks. That was achieved with a much-weakened line-up as they prepared themselves for this European Rugby Champions Cup tie against Saracens.
The big guns are all back this weekend though with 13 changes being made from the team that defeated Sale 31-26. It will be a star-studded line-up with no less than seven internationals in their pack.
Even the uncapped players are a threat.
Alfie Barbeary is the only uncapped player in Bath's pack but he's up for the European player of the year award. All of their backline are international players and Saracens will have to try and cope with players such as Finn Russell and captain Ben Spencer.
If Bath do run into trouble then they have a strong replacements bench so the bad news for Saracens continues.
Saracens have to find a way of avoiding another heavy loss. That's been the case in their last two visits to the Recreation Ground. They are struggling for form, though the recent losses in the PREM Rugby Cup were with weakened sides.
