Harlequins make six changes to their team as they prepare to host Wasps in front of a crowd of nearly 80,000 in the Big Game Two at Twickenham Stadium.
Prop Ceri Jones, flanker Chris Robshaw, scrum-half Danny Care, wing David Strettle and centres Nils Mordt and Gonzalo Tiesi all start.
Wasps fly-half Danny Cipriani makes his first start following injury in one of three changes to the side.
Steve Kefu starts at 12 with Dominic Waldouck moving to outside centre.
At the start of the week, Quins said that 77,000 tickets had been sold for the game.
Last year, Quins set a Premiership record when 50,000 watched the dramatic 26-26 draw against Leicester.
Wasps rugby director Tony Hanks:
"There is always an extra edge in these local London derbies and Wasps v Harlequins games are always highly competitive and entertaining.
"There is always a special feel to the Christmas fixture - supporters bring that festive mood and upbeat sense of anticipation which really rubs off on the teams. Playing at Twickenham in front of a big crowd will only add to that and I think it is really positive for the game that clubs are taking to the big stages like Twickenham and Wembley."
