OSPREYS v SARACENS

Pool 2 TODAY: Liberty Stadium, 7.45pm, LIVE on BT Sport 3 Crucial for both. Sarries could be heading out if they lose. Liam Williams returns as Billy Vunipola (right) continues his comeback. Tournament top try scorer Dan Evans wears 11 for Ospreys. PREDICTION: Away win. EXETER v MONTPELLIE­R Pool 3 TODAY: Sandy Park, 3.15pm, LIVE on BT Sport 2 Montpellie­r have just two Frenchmen, Louis Picamoles (below) and Yacouba Camara, in their XV — but seven South Africans. Exeter are out if they don’t win this one. PREDICTION: Home win. HARLEQUINS v WASPS Pool 1 TODAY: The Stoop, 5.30pm, LIVE on Sky Sports Action Injury-hit Wasps must win to stay alive and can call on James Haskell for his 50th European appearance. Quins are out and rest teen Marcus Smith in the week he signed a big-money deal. PREDICTION: Away win. CASTRES v LEICESTER Pool 4 TOMORROW: Stade PierreFabr­e, 5.30pm, LIVE on BT Sport 2 Leicester rest all of their England players as they are already sunk in Europe. With Castres heading out too, barring several miraculous results, this is a dead rubber. PREDICTION: Home win. NORTHAMPTO­N v CLERMONT Pool 2 TODAY: Franklin’s Gardens, 5.30pm, LIVE on Sky Sports Arena Northampto­n are out but still pick Dylan Hartley and Courtney Lawes. Clermont can stay ahead of the game with a win. They have Nick Abendanon (above) at right wing. PREDICTION: Away win.
