Head coach Steve Borthwick has again opted for a 6-2 split on the bench, with Chandler Cunningham-South, Tom Curry and Henry Pollock among the reinforcements.
Luke Cowan-Dickie, Ellis Genge and Will Stuart – all British and Irish Lions this summer – are also part of a formidable bench.
Marcus Smith is preferred to Fin Smith as the outside back replacement.
The versatile Elliot Daly, who has trained with the squad but not played since breaking his arm playing for the Lions in July, is also left out of the matchday 23 as he is given more time to get up to match speed.
Roebuck’s return means fellow wing Henry Arundell, who showed his pace with a try in his first England match in more than two years against Fiji last weekend, is also out.
“This is another huge test for us this weekend,” Borthwick told Rugby Union Weekly.
“New Zealand are second in the world, they have been together five months, and have got a spine of a team with Codie Taylor, Ardie Savea, Beauden Barrett, that is just phenomenally experienced and played so much together.
“We want Allianz Stadium this weekend to be the loudest it has ever been.
“When the crowd are behind this team, it is phenomenal.
“The players talk about it, the effect it has.”
