Match preview
Wasps picked up a morale-boosting win over Bristol last time out but they face a stern test against Northampton at the Ricoh Arena.
This is one of the newer local derbies in the Premiership with Wasps dominating the fixture since moving to Coventry in 2014.
Northampton have lost all four league fixtures at the Ricoh with their 36-17 win at Franklin's Gardens in November 2018 their only victory over Wasps in eight league meetings, but slick Saints are worth backing for derby delight.
The Saints' attack-orientated game could be too strong for a Wasps defence which has conceded 20 tries in seven league matches as Chris Boyd's side look to keep pace with league leaders Exeter.
Wasps' victory at Bristol eased some of the pressure on director of rugby Dai Young but his side will not be able to repeat their performance from the last home game when Harlequins scored four tries in 20 minutes to come from 17-0 down to win.
