CONFIRMED: Two England stars return from injury ahead of Nations Championship

Saints are appearing in their fourth Premiership final and arrive as defending champions after another outstanding campaign that saw them lose just three league matches before overcoming Leicester Tigers 45-31 in last week's play-off semi-final.

Exeter, meanwhile, are back on the biggest domestic stage for the first time in five years after a remarkable run to the final.

The two meetings between the sides this season have produced plenty of drama, with their opening-day clash ending in a 33-33 draw before Fin Smith secured a late Northampton victory in the return fixture in April.

Exeter have been boosted by the return of England international Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, who comes straight back into the starting XV. Match captain Dafydd Jenkins leads a side featuring only three players with previous Premiership final experience.

Rob Baxter's pack includes Scott Sio, Max Norey and Josh Iosefa-Scott in the front row, while Jenkins partners Andrea Zambonin in the second row. Ethan Roots returns after completing return-to-play protocols and joins Tom Hooper and Greg Fisilau in the back row.

Stephen Varney and Harvey Skinner continue at half-back, with Wallabies centre Len Ikitau partnered by Henry Slade in midfield. Feyi-Waboso starts alongside Campbell Ridl on the wings, while six-time Premiership finalist Olly Woodburn is selected at full-back.

On the bench, Christ Tshiunza could make his final appearance for the club, while Ethan Burger, Ross Vintcent and Kane James are among the forward replacements.

Northampton have retained the same starting XV that defeated Leicester in the semi-finals, with scrum-half Archie McParland set to make his 50th appearance for the club. The 21-year-old has enjoyed a breakthrough season, scoring 14 tries in 24 appearances.

McParland continues his partnership with England fly-half Fin Smith, who leads the Premiership for try assists this season. Rory Hutchinson and Tom Litchfield start in midfield, with Litchfield coming into the final after scoring three tries against Leicester.

Captain George Furbank starts at full-back, while George Hendy and Tommy Freeman complete an unchanged back three that has scored 43 tries between them this season.

The Saints pack features Emmanuel Iyogun, Curtis Langdon and Elliot Millar Mills in the front row, with Ed Prowse and Alex Coles locking the scrum.

Josh Kemeny, Tom Pearson and Henry Pollock complete the back row, with Pollock producing a standout performance in the semi-final after carrying for 110 metres and making 11 tackles.

Phil Dowson's replacements include the returning British & Irish Lion Alex Mitchell, alongside Danilo Fischetti, JJ Van Der Mescht, Callum Chick and Fraser Dingwall.

With Exeter looking to reclaim former glories and Northampton aiming to defend their crown, Saturday's final promises another compelling chapter in what has already been a fiercely contested rivalry this season.
