Scotland internationals Darcy Graham and Hamish Watson return to bolster Edinburgh in Fright night's URC match against Zebre in Parma.
The pair, who were rested for last weekend's narrow loss to Sharks, are among six changes for the visitors.
Wing Jack Brown, making his first start, occupies the opposite flank to Graham while Boan Venter comes in at loosehead prop and Paddy Harrison starts at hooker.
In the second row, Glen Young is preferred to Grant Gilchrist.
With Jamie Ritchie rested, Ben Muncaster moves to blindside flanker, allowing Watson to reclaim the number seven jersey.
Edinburgh go into their third-last game in 11th place - three points adrift of a play-off spot - while Zebre are second bottom.
Head coach Sean Everitt said: "This is a really important fixture for us as we look to bounce back from the Sharks game. We know Zebre are a talented side and they've shown they can be very strong at home.
"The return of Darcy and Hamish is a real boost and we're excited to see Jack get his first start after his impressive impact last weekend."
Edinburgh team to face Zebre: Paterson, Graham, Currie, Lang, Brown, Thompson, Price, Venter, Harrison, Rae, Young, Skinner, Muncaster, Watson, Bradbury.
Replacements: Morris, Hislop, Williams, Gilchrist, Douglas, Shiel, Scott, Tuipulotu.
