Saracens 44-17 Leicester Tigers
Saracens remain on course for a domestic and European double after beating Leicester to reach a third successive Premiership final.
After the Tigers had a first-minute Manu Tuilagi effort ruled out, Saracens eased clear with four first-half tries.
Chris Wyles scored twice and Will Fraser and Chris Ashton touched down as they led 31-0 at the break.
Telusa Veainu and Dom Barrow threatened a fightback but Ashton's second sealed victory for the Champions Cup winners.
They will now face Exeter Chiefs or Wasps at Twickenham next Saturday, bidding to become the first English side since Wasps in 2004 to claim both the Premiership and European crowns.
Exeter 34-23 Wasps
Exeter Chiefs reached the Premiership final for the first time in their history after a tense win over Wasps.
A see-saw first half saw the lead change hands four times as Carlo Festuccia's close-range score for Wasps was cancelled out by Ian Whitten's try.
Dan Robson restored Wasps' lead but a penalty try late in the half gave Exeter a 20-14 lead at the break.
Dave Ewers went over for the Chiefs soon after the restart before a late penalty try sent them to Twickenham.
That last-minute score sealed the biggest win in the club's history and set up a meeting with reigning Premiership and European champion Saracens.
