The Saints will host Saracens at stadiummk in front of what is anticipated to be a new attendance record crowd for the Rugby World Cup venue, breaking the 27,000 mark that watched MK Dons beat Manchester United last August.
There are a handful of changes to the Saints’ starting line-up, with Salesi Ma’afu and Courtney Lawes returning to the pack and Ahsee Tuala coming in at full back.
Saturday could also be a momentous occasion for scrum-half Lee Dickson, who will become a double Saints centurion should he see action off the bench.
With such a large crowd heading to Milton Keynes, all supporters are strongly advised to allow plenty of time for their journeys to stadiummk. If you do not have a car parking pass then you will not be allowed to park on-site, but there is a free shuttle bus service running between Central Milton Keynes and stadiummk, starting at 12:15pm.
