Mackenzie Carson moves from the front row to the backrow, joining Marlie Packer and Jodie Rettie in the loose forward trio.
Sonia Green and Molly Morrissey will have another opportunity to link-up at second row, having started together against Worcester Warriors Women and Firwood Waterloo Ladies.
Cleall will be looking to make an impact off the bench alongside Vicky Fleetwood, who returns to the match day squad, Jeani Layola and Rocky Clark.
Cara Wardle, who started at inside centre last week, takes her place among the replacements with Georgie Lingham and Knight.
