England manager Martin Johnson has made one change for Sunday's Calcutta Cup game against Scotland, with Alex Corbisiero replacing the injured Andrew Sheridan at loose-head prop.

Corbisiero will win his third cap after Sheridan tore his calf in England's 17-9 victory over France and was ruled out of the remainder of the RBS 6 Nations Championship.

Toby Flood has recovered from the Achilles injury that forced him off against France to continue at fly-half in a settled starting team.

The only position in which Johnson has had to make changes all tournament is at loose-head prop and they have all been forced upon him by injuries.

Johnson has made two alterations to his bench for the Scotland clash. Tom Croft returns to an England squad for the first time since fracturing his shoulder against South Africa in the final international of the autumn campaign. The Leicester flanker has replaced Hendre Fourie among the replacements after proving his fitness in three appearances for the Tigers.

Gloucester prop Paul Doran-Jones has been promoted to fill Corbisiero's place on the bench with David Wilson still struggling with an ankle problem. But Northampton lock Courtney Lawes will have to wait for his return to England action, with veteran lock Simon Shaw continuing to provide the second row cover.

James Haskell will look to put in another powerful, dynamic performance

Complacency is the danger for England tomorrow, hence the manager's litany of guarded comments.

"Everything we've achieved so far, we've earned. Now, we have to go out and earn it all over again. Last autumn, Scotland beat the Springboks. A week later, we were beaten by the Springboks. Highs and lows – you're never far from either. Before we played the Wallabies in November, people said they were the best side in the world and it was impossible for us to run the ball against them. After we beat them, they were in crisis and we were favourites for the World Cup."

Even now, three-quarters of the way to a first clean sweep in eight years, England are a long way short of that kind of status. But their confidence is growing, and they will be disappointed if they fail to record a decisive victory in this game. Back in 2003, they rattled up 40 points against the Scots on home soil, and scored even more heavily in 2005 and 2007.

Asked if England could make a statement with their performance against the Scots on Sunday, Johnson replied: "The only statement you can make is winning. For us it is concentrating on being the best team we can on Sunday. You can see how we want to play but sometimes we have to play a different way to win. On Sunday we have to try to find a way to beat Scotland."

Alex Corbisiero has impressed in both matches he has played in so far

Scotland had some terrific results last year in Dublin, Argentina and against the Springboks at Murrayfield in the autumn, but the Six Nations is about momentum and it is England who have that at the moment.

The first forty minutes against France was poor from an England perspective and lessons will hopefully have been learned since. England want pace to feed their new found confidence and rhythm, and the pack will need to be on their game to provide the backline with the quick ball they've shown they can exploit.

England – Player to Watch: Ben Youngs. Scotland coach Andy Robinson has picked a big pack to attempt to make life as difficult as possible for England, disrupting their rhythm and halting any momentumn, but if England scrum half Ben Youngs can move the powerful but cumbersome Scottish pack around, gaps should appear for him and the rest of his backline to exploit at pace.

Scotland – Player to Watch: Richie Gray. Has shone in his two appearances for Scotland so far, a man moutain at the lineout, winning and stealing ball, a big hitter in defence, and powerful and a handful in the loose, certainly a standout player for Scotland so far.

Statistics: England and Scotland have met 127 times, with England leading by 67 wins to 42. Scotland have not won at Twickenham since 1983, when they clinched a 22-12 victory.In Six Nations meetings between these sides, England have scored 33 tries to Scotland's seven. Scotland haven't scored a try in ten of their last fifteen games.

Prediction: Form, confidence, momentum and history all point to a home victory and although Scotland will look to slow the pace of the game down, England should have too much for them in most areas.
