Ryan Mills returns from injury to start at fly-half as Warriors make the short trip down the M5 to face local rivals Gloucester Rugby in the Aviva Premiership this Friday night.
The number ten will come up against his former club as Director of Rugby Gary Gold makes three changes to his starting 15 for the clash at Kingsholm (kick-off 7.45pm).
Peter Stringer is handed his first start at scrum-half in the absence of Jonny Arr (concussion) while Alafoti Faosiliva slots into the back row in place of the injured Matt Cox (bicep).
There is a welcome return for summer signing David Denton who could make his debut from the replacements bench after recovering from a calf problem, as well as new loan signing Jono Kitto, who joined from Leicester Tigers earlier this week.
Dean Hammond is also restored to the squad among the replacements as Warriors go in search of their first points of the season.
