Sydney - Back-rower Teimana Harrison was the only change in the England team named on Thursday for the third and final Test against Australia in Sydney on Saturday.
The Northampton Saints flank replaced James Haskell, who suffered a foot injury in the Six Nations champions' 23-7 series-clinching win over the Wallabies in Melbourne last weekend.
Coach Eddie Jones is demanding England complete a clean-sweep in the three-match series having already won the previous two Tests in Brisbane and Melbourne to retain the Cook Cup.
"This is an enormously important game for us, we can create a lot of history this weekend," Jones told reporters.
"Australia hasn't been beaten 3-0 here since the British Lions in 1971, so to do that would be a great accomplishment for the team.
"So the team is motivated, fit and ready to go, so we are looking forward to finishing the series with some good rugby."
Jones said new selection Harrison was a "bit of a street-fighter."
"He doesn't mind throwing it around a bit and we're going to need that on Saturday. He's nice and competitive in that seven spot (openside flanker)."
Jones said Harrison had trained well throughout the tour and deserved his opportunity to play in the final game.
"He's an excellent defender and his robustness will be important to us at the start of the game," he said.
"We've treated this week like a dress rehearsal for the (2019) World Cup because that what we're always building towards.
"To win a World Cup you have to win three big games in a row - we've won two so this third game is the most important game we'll play all year. It will be a good indication of where we are as a team."
Captain Dylan Hartley said England's biggest challenge in the final Test would be mental.
"Physically, we know how we can play, but mentally getting up for this game and treating it like our final and finishing our season with a win," Hartley told reporters.
For the second straight Test, after winning 39-28 in Brisbane a week earlier, the Six Nations champions mastered the Wallabies in Melbourne to clinch their first-ever series victory in Australia.
