Saracens v Bath TV channel, live stream info, kick-off time, team news and results needed for Gallagher Premiership play-off spot

Bath face Saracens on Sunday as Stuart Hooper's side chase a spot in the Gallagher Premiership play-offs.

Bath head into the final round of the league in third place in the table but with Bristol Bears, Wasps and Sale Sharks all capable of earning a spot in the play-offs. With Exeter Chiefs already having a home semi-final secured, Bath must win to extend their season beyond Saturday afternoon by securing a play-off place.

It they secure a bonus-point win and if Wasps win but fail to pick up a bonus-point against Exeter Chiefs, then the Blue, Black and White will secure a home semi-final.
