Match preview
Saracens begin their Premiership comeback at last season's table-toppers, and both teams are difficult to weigh up at this early stage.
Hosts Bristol name a strong side but had a low-key pre-season as coach Pat Lam declared himself happy with the continuity in his squad.
Sarries travel without a host of first-team big names, while others such as fly-half Alex Lozowski and forward Nick Isiekwe and Ben Earl spent last season on loan elsewhere.
Neither team looks ready to find top gear and it could pay to expect a close-fought affair. Bristol look to have the squad strength to edge it.
