Form Guide
Munster:
Munster are coming off the back of a frustrating loss last weekend, against a Toulouse side who were there for the taking on a foggy Sunday in Thomond Park.
They have been steadily improving, however, after a worrying start to the season, while their squad is slowly getting back to fitness and their new-look management team continues to build cohesion week on week.
They are deserved favourites for Sunday's showdown.
Northampton:
The midlands side lie mid-table in the Gallagher Premiership, and are coming off the back of a heavy 43-12 loss in the Champions Cup last week, albeit away to holders La Rochelle.
It will be seen as a must win for both sides, and while the Irish province are favourites, the game will likely be decided by a score.
