Shaun Perry will captain Worcester for the first time as they bid for the bonus point win over Crociati Parma that will keep them in touch with Pool 1 leaders Stade Francais.
Head coach Richard Hill has rung the changes from the side which edged out Gloucester in the derby clash at Sixways last time out.
Miles Benjamin moves to centre to team up with Alex Grove while Tom Arscott, Josh Drauniniu and Errie Claassens provide the threat from the back line.
Andy Goode is handed a starting berth following his heroics against Gloucester, while flanker Jake Abbott is the only member of the pack to survive from last weekend.
Nile Dacres and Richard Muagututia complete the back row as the Warriors look to set up a big finale against the Paris side next weekend.
Stade Francais are currently four points clear at the top of the group so providing Worcester at least match their result against Bucharest, next week's fixture in Paris could be a winner-takes-all affair.
Worcester: Claassens, Arscott, Benjamin, Grove, Drauniniu, Goode, Perry, Douglas, Shervington, Tomaszczyk, Gulliver, Gillies, Dacres, Abbott, Muagututia.
Replacements: Hayes, Porter, Currie, Betty, Kvesic, Frost, Gray, Short.
Crociati Parma: Casalini; Carritiello, Vengoa, Damiani, Alberghini; Morisi, Zucconi; Pepoli, Manici, Coletti, Contini, Fletcher [capt], Ruffolo, Delnevo, Caffini.
Replacements: Goegan, Milani, Tripodi, Mandelli, Festuccia, Ireland, Ruffolo, Gennari.
