Bath head coach John Connolly has named an unchanged starting line up for today's crunch Zurich Premiership clash with Heineken Cup and Zurich Premiership champions London Wasps (2.45pm).

The only change comes on the bench where Lee Mears returns in place of Rob Hawkins.

However, full-back Lee Best will face a late fitness test on a slight groin niggle.

He is expected to be fit but Chris Malone is on standby just in case, with Swindon-born Alex Crockett moving onto the bench.

England scrum-half Matt Dawson misses out for visitors Wasps through injury.

Bath: Best/Malone, Higgins, Fleck, Tindall, Daniel, Barkley, Wood, Barnes, Humphreys (c), Bell, Borthwick, Grewcock, Beattie, Lipman, Feaunati. Subs: Walshe, Mears, Stevens, Malone/Crockett, Davey, Scaysbrook, Fidler.

IT'S a similar story for Gloucester as they head up to Worcester today (2pm).

Director of rugby Nigel Melville has also named an unchanged squad.

For the sixth week in succession he has been able to select an unchanged back line of Andy Gomarsall, Duncan McRae, James Simpson-Daniel, Henry Paul, Terry Fanolua, Marcel Garvey and Jon Goodridge.

After successfully completing over 25 minutes last Saturday against Harlequins, Phil Vickery has once again been named in the squad.

Gloucester (squad): Goodridge, Garvey, Fanolua, Paul, Simpson-Daniel, McRae, Gomarsall, Page, Bailey, Bezuidenhout, Azam, Powell, Buxton, Brown, Boer (c), Hazell, Forrester, Fortey, Sigley, Vickery, Eustace, Balding.
