The England prop has now fully recovered from a knee injury sustained whilst on international duty in South Africa during the summer and is picked in the front row for the game at the Madejski Stadium.
Corbisiero is not the only player to be starting for the Exiles for the first time in the campaign, with Shane Geraghty selected at inside centre.
Geraghty has made five substitute appearances in his second spell with the capital club but gets the chance to impress from the off this time, director of rugby naming him alongside Guy Armitage in Irish's midfield.
Sale, meanwhile, will be looking for history to repeat itself - they defeated London Irish 21-9 last Friday to record their first win in the Aviva Premiership.
The much-changed visitors will be captained by scrum-half Dwayne Peel, though Danny Cipriani is retained alongside his skipper in the No.10 jersey.
Props Eifion Lewis-Roberts and Vadim Cobilas both start after coming off the bench at Edgeley Park last time out; Tommy Taylor is retained at hooker.
James Gaskell also get a starting berth in the second row while Andy Powell's selection means Richie Vernon switches to the number seven shirt. The pair are joined in the back row by Mark Easter.
