Billy Vunipola has been named on the bench for England's Six Nations clash with Scotland on Saturday.
Eddie Jones has made three changes to the starting XV that beat Italy 36-15 last time out, with Jonathan Joseph, Jack Nowell and Ben Youngs returning.
Bath winger Anthony Watson is alongside Vunipola among the replacements after recovering from a hamstring injury.
Vunipola has yet to feature in this year's tournament as he recovered from a knee ligament injury but proved his fitness by playing 72 minutes for Saracens against Newcastle Falcons last weekend.
It had been speculated that he might go straight back into the team but Wasps' Nathan Hughes retains his spot in the back-row.
The three changes to the starting XV see Youngs restored at scrum-half in place of Danny Care, Joseph replace Ben Te'o at outside centre and Nowell, who came on to score two tries against the Azzurri, oust Jonny May on the right wing.
May is omitted from the matchday 23 completely, making room for Watson on the bench.
And Watson is poised to appear in an England jersey for the first time since last summer's tour to Australia after recovering from a fractured jaw and, more recently, a hamstring strain.
There are no changes in the pack as Joe Marler holds off Mako Vunipola's challenge at loosehead to win his 50th cap while Maro Itoje continues at blindside flanker.
England are still on course for a back-to-back Grand Slams and will equal New Zealand's record of 18 consecutive Tier One Test victories if they win at Twickenham.
But they will be facing a dangerous Scotland side, who are chasing a Triple Crown themselves after wins over Ireland and Wales.
Jones said: "Our preparation for Scotland has been very good.
"We had two excellent training runs in Oxford last week and followed that up this week.
"We're focused on ourselves - we want to give our fans a really good performance.
"We've worked hard in this Six Nations and feel like a good performance is just around the corner. This is the 124th Calcutta Cup and I feel humbled and honoured to be part of such an historic rugby occasion.
"It's the oldest international fixture and means a lot to both countries. We will treasure the experience.
"I congratulate Joe Marler on his 50-cap milestone. I've coached a lot of good players and he is certainly one of the best.
"He is an honest and committed team man and a fine individual. To have him and Mako Vunipola available together to give us 80 minutes at loose-head is an enormous advantage."
