Stuart Lancaster highlighted the need for consistency as his main reason for not changing the side as they look to claim their second scalp in as many games.
The will also be no changes amongst the replacements, and Jonathan Joseph and George Kruis are in line to make their first starts at Twickenham.
The Italians went down to a heavy 26-3 defeat to Ireland in their opening game, but Lancaster warned against complacency.
“We know what’s coming at us, but we have prepared well and are looking forward to getting back home and playing in front of our fantastic supporters,” he said.
Italy will make a number of changes, however, as they look to bounce back with a strong showing in southwest London.
