England wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso will start for Exeter Chiefs in their Investec Champions Cup last-16 tie against Bath on Saturday.

Flanker Ethan Roots starts in the back row to make his first Exeter appearance since the Six Nations.

For Bath, Scotland's Cameron Redpath returns at inside centre.

The 24-year-old will resume his partnership with Ollie Lawrence, which has helped Bath, who are second in the Premiership, win three out of their four Champions Cup pool games.

Captain Ben Spencer continues at scrum-half with Finn Russell retaining his spot at fly-half following a narrow defeat by Harlequins.

"Bath are having a very good season," Exeter director of rugby Rob Baxter said. "Johan [van Graan] has pulled them together really well over the last year or so.

"I know they had some up and down games last year, but by the end of the season they were going very well, and they certainly gave us a decent beating in that period.

"They've got a very strong team across the board."

Wales captain Dafydd Jenkins will skipper the Chiefs and he is joined by the returning Rusi Tuima in the second row.

Exeter also won three out of their four Champions Cup games, but lost their most recent game in Europe against Bayonne.

The winners will face Toulouse or Racing 92 in the quarter-finals.
