Nathan Hughes and Marland Yarde will start for England against Australia at Twickenham on Saturday, in two forced changes to Eddie Jones' side.
Wasps' Hughes replaces the injured Billy Vunipola at number eight, while Harlequins' Marland Yarde will start on the wing in place of the suspended Elliot Daly.
Daly is banned after being sent off in last weekend's victory over Argentina.
Australia have made four changes to the side that lost to Ireland.
Kane Douglas, Lopeti Timani, Sefanaia Naivalu and Nick Phipps have all been recalled to the starting XV.
Australia's defeat in Dublin ended the Wallabies' hopes of a grand slam over the home nations.
Meanwhile winger Semesa Rokoduguni and lock Dave Attwood do not make England's 23-man squad.
The victory over Argentina was England's 13th in a row and their 12th under Australian Jones, and a win over Australia in the final autumn international would equal their longest winning run, set across 2002 and 2003.
