BATH welcome back tighthead prop David Wilson for tomorrow night's Aviva Premiership match against Harlequins at the Stoop (7.45pm).

Wilson has recovered from the injury that ruled him out of England's 2015 Six Nations campaign to take his place in the starting team, packing down in the front row alongside hooker Ross Batty and loosehead Paul James.

Dave Attwood and Dominic Day link up in the second row, the pair having last started together there in Bath's famous win against Toulouse in January.

Francois Louw captains the side at openside flanker in a back row also featuring blindside Sam Burgess and number eight Leroy Houston, who was this week named Green Flag's Premiership Rugby Forward of the Month for April.

Peter Stringer and George Ford are retained at scrum-half and fly-half respectively, as is the midfield partnership of Kyle Eastmond and Jonathan Joseph.

Horacio Agulla comes into the starting team at number 14, lining up with fellow wing Matt Banahan. Anthony Watson starts at full-back.

Bath pair George Ford and Jonathan Joseph, Harlequins skipper Joe Marler and Saracens number eight Billy Vunipola have been shortlisted for the England player of the year award, voted for by the Rugby Players' Association.

Fly-half Ford has scored 109 points in 10 England appearances while his club colleague Joseph was this season's Six Nations' top try scorer with four in five games.

Marler established himself as one of England's top front-row forwards during the 2014-15 season and has already won 30 caps at the age of 24.

Vunipola finished as England's top ball carrier in the Six Nations with 64 carries and scored tries against Italy and France.

Harlequins full-back Mike Brown won the award in 2014 and this year's winner will be announced on May 13.

Bath: 15 Anthony Watson, 14 Horacio Agulla, 13 Jonathan Joseph, 12 Kyle Eastmond, 11 Matt Banahan, 10 George Ford, 9 Peter Stringer, 1 Paul James, 2 Ross Batty, 3 David Wilson, 4 Dave Attwood, 5 Dominic Day, 6 Sam Burgess, 7 Francois Louw (captain), 8 Leroy Houston.
