Late change for Wasps as Will Stuart comes in for Jake Cooper-Woolley on the bench.

Wasps have reached the semi-finals for a third successive year and have won their last two matches, both at home, to Worcester Warriors and Northampton Saints, but have not won three in a row in the tournament since December.

Wasps are undefeated in their last nine Premiership Rugby encounters with Newcastle since 2012, a run which includes a 23-all draw at Kingston Park in February 2015.

Newcastle Falcons have already qualified for their first ever Premiership Rugby semi-final, their previous best finishes since the play-offs were introduced was seventh in 2005 and 2006.

Falcons have lost just twice in Aviva Premiership Rugby since November, both away from home, at Saracens in round 14 and at Worcester in round 19.
