Northampton Saints have a tough Aviva Premiership trip to play Sale Sharks on Friday in what will be a stiff test for both sides.
"Edgeley Park is a tough place to play and Sale try to make it as horrible a place as they can for opposition teams," Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder said.
"We know it's going to be difficult - Sale are playing well and won their last two games. But we've been up there before and won up there before and are in a positive frame of mind for the trip."
