Let's take a look now at the team news for both sides at Sandy Park, and once we've done that, we'll go through both line-ups fully.
First, Exeter: They have England centre Henry Slade back to steer them from fly-half.
Slade is one of five Exeter changes after being rested for their opening Pool 1 defeat by South African side Sharks in Durban.
The other alterations come in the pack as props Will Goodrick-Clarke and Ehren Painter, lock Rusi Tuima and number eight Ross Vintcent are all recalled.
Wales captain Dafydd Jenkins is on the bench, and set to play for the first time since July after recovering from shoulder surgery.

His score was something to add on to a load of other really good things he did.
He was brilliant at the line-out, stole one of the Toulon throws, had a turnover at one of the mauls. He's been fantastic and he's been a brilliant find.

"That's the beauty of sport – that you can go into a game and, if you get things right, then you can achieve things as a group that is almost beyond what anyone would think."
The words during the week of Rob Baxter, Exeter's director of rugby, facing up to the challenge of Toulouse in Champions Cup Pool One this evening.
It's a huge challenge: On one side, a team who have lost all seven of their Premiership matches this season. On the other, the reigning European champions and Top 14 leaders.
Maybe it's the easiest Champions Cup game of the weekend to predict. Or maybe sport will do its thing and confound us. That's why we're here, isn't it? Because you never know.

Two points from the Riviera for Glasgow - and we'll keep an ear out for any further reaction there as we switch to Devon for the final Champions Cup match of the weekend, with some thoughts on the test of trying to triumph in adversity...

Two points, you've got to be happy with them, but Glasgow will know they should have got more.
The plan was to roll off the bench and there were moments when they could have put their foot down more. There will be a lot of frustration, but [this competition] is a marathon.
At one point we thought they wouldn't even get a point, let alone two.
