How did Wasps get to the final?
Along with Saracens, Wasps were among the big favourites for the title at the start of the season, and they lived up to that tag by finishing the Premiership season top of the league.
But they made hard work of beating Leicester Tigers in their play-off semi-final, needing a 78th-minute try from Josh Bassett to progress with a 21-20 win at the Ricoh Arena.
The star-studded side will now look to pick up their first piece of silverware since their controversial move to Coventry from Wycombe.
There will also be the scent of revenge in their air for Wasps, as Exeter knocked them out of last season's semi-final with a 34-23 win at Sandy Park.
How did Exeter Chiefs get to the final?
Last season's runners-up, Exeter's semi-final was no less dramatic than that of Wasps as they overcame European champs Saracens at Sandy Park.
Facing the team that beat them in the 2016 final at Twickenham, Exeter were 16-13 down and stranded in their own half with a minute to play.
But having earned a scrum penalty, Henry Slade booted the ball the length of the pitch to earn a line-out on the Saracens' five-metre line.
Sam Simmonds then dramatically powered over to send the chiefs to Twickenham to the delight of the home crown.
The Bank Holiday weekend should now see a pilgrimage from Devon to London, with Exeter City Football Club playing in the League Two play-off final at Wembley after the Aviva Premiership final.
