Scotland international Moray Low will make his first start in the Aviva Premiership as Exeter Chiefs host Saracens tomorrow (4.30pm).
The tighthead is one of three changes to the side that beat Wasps 31-15 last weekend to stay second in the table.
Fellow prop Ben Moon also starts, after the duo make a big impact off the bench against Wasps when the scrum was creaking.
Fit-again Sam Hill, a late withdrawal from the side to face Wasps, is named in the centre in the only change in the backs.
Baxter is hoping his players will now give their all to stay in the top two ahead of the break for European action at the start of next month.
"Saturday's game has become even bigger because we're second in the table and we want to stay there," said the head coach.
"What we have to make sure we do now is use that positive bit of pressure to bring the best out of us.
"As a group we have to say we like being in second place and around the top and that we'll fight tooth and nail to stay there.
"We have talked a lot about that this week, but we will see which way we go ultimately on Saturday."Exeter Chiefs: Dollman; Nowell, Slade, Hill, Jess; Steenson, Chudley; Moon, Cowan-Dickie, Low, Mumm, Welch, Ewers, Armand, Waldrom. Reps: Bateman, Rimmer, Francis, Caldwell, Horstmann, Thomas, Whitten, McGuigan
