Craig Warlow will captain The Dragons side who take on one of the toughest sides in the Guinness Premiership.
Making their Rodney Parade debuts for the region tonight are Aled Brew, Alex Walker, Ben Daly, Joe Bearman and Nic Fitisemanu.
On the replacements bench new signings Lee Harrison, Colin Charvis, Matt Jess and Mike Hercus are named and are expected to play some part in the game.
Speaking at yesterday's press conference at Rodney Parade, Charvis said, "You have got to take one step at a time. I've only been with the Dragons now for nine or 10 days. My goal is to get some playing time against Bath.When I first got here and watched the guys training you could see there was a lot of ambition within the team and they are determined to do better this year compared to what they did last season.
"There was already enough fire power here to do well. So I've just got to see whether there is a role for me and ideally try to get myself into the team, but it's going to take a lot of work for me to do that."
Academy members Richard Wilkes, Lewis Evans and Gareth Maule are also expected to make an appearance during the game.
Season ticket holders can use their tickets as free entry into the game.
