Lee Blackett has named his side to host Leicester Tigers at the Coventry Building Society Arena in Gallagher Premiership Round 13 on Sunday.
There are four personnel changes and three positional switches from the team that played Sale Sharks on New Year’s Day.
Tom Cruse, Jeffery Toomaga-Allen, Tom Willis and Charlie Atkinson all come into the starting team, having featured off the bench last Saturday.
Jimmy Gopperth switches to inside centre, as Atkinson comes in at fly-half. Sam Wolstenholme is Atkinson’s half-back partner, while Sam Spink joins Gopperth in the centres.
The rest of the back-line is unchanged. Try-scorer last week, Josh Bassett is joined by Francois Hougaard and Ali Crossdale, in the back three.
Cruse and Toomaga-Allen are joined in the front row by Tom West.
Tom Willis comes in at number eight. The side is captained by Brad Shields at openside flanker. Alfie Barbeary completes the back row at blindside flanker.
Elliott Stooke and Vaea Fifita start in the second row once more to complete the line-up.
On the bench, Ryan Mills returns from injury to make his first appearance since September 2020.
Thomas Young is in line to make his 150th Wasps appearance from amongst the substitutes.
They are joined by Dan Frost, Bomber Hislop, Biyi Alo, Tim Cardall, Will Porter and Rob Miller as the other replacements.
