Rob Baxter makes three changes as he shuffles his pack for Exeter Chiefs' trip to struggling Newcastle Falcons on Sunday.
Sam Hill and Jack Nowell make way as Tom James and Ian Whitten slot into the backs, while Don Armand replaces Mitch Lees in the second row.
The match will see Baxter celebrate his 500th league match as a player or a coach with the Chiefs, and the Sandy Park side are looking to build on a fine start to the season with a fourth win from five games.
The Falcons have not won in their last 20 top-flight matches, but Baxter feels that places the pressure on his players' shoulders rather than those of their hosts.
"Every game we have played this season has looked winnable because we have been on good form," said Baxter.
"But I think the big issue with this game - and I know people will say there is pressure on Newcastle because they are near the bottom of the table - but is there really any pressure on a team that has lost 19, 20 games? Not really, simply because you can go and play because no one is expecting a different result.
"You can go out and put in one of those big emotional performances and you can celebrate having your first win in a long time - that's the danger with them.
"Very few teams go on losing runs forever and I think the danger is you don't want to be the team that chances that.
"They have changed their game as they said they would and they have broadened their threatening game, so we have to be very aware because in some ways they bring more threats than what Harlequins did last week.
"I know that sound strange, but the way they play and the way we defended, we snuffed out some key individuals for them.
"On Sunday, we are going to be attacked in a different way, so we have to be just as focused on the way they attack and be just as physical."Exeter Chiefs team to face Newcastle Falcons: Phil Dollman, Tom James, Henry Slade, Ian Whitten, Matt Jess, Gareth Steenson, Will Chudley, Ben Moon, Jack Yeandle, Tomas Francis, Don Armand, Damian Welch, Dave Ewers, Ben White, Thomas Waldrom
