England need to beat Wales at Cardiff Arms Park on Friday to secure back-to-back Under-20s Six Nations titles and a first Grand Slam since 2021.
Mark Mapletoft's side have won all four of their matches so far and lead France by 18 points to 15 in the standings.
"You don't get many opportunities to do this," Mapletoft said.
"Four previous England Under-20 sides have won the Grand Slam since 2008. That is not many, not many senior sides win Grand Slams either."
While England recorded a bonus-point win over Italy at the Rec last week, France kept alive their championship ambitions with a bonus-point win over Ireland in Cork.
France need to defeat sixth-placed Scotland at home on Friday and hope for a favour from Wales to secure a first title since 2018.
Wales, third in the standings with eight points, failed to add to their first win over Ireland in eight years as Scotland picked up their first victory of the campaign in round four.
Ireland have suffered three defeats for the first time since 2018 in the Under-20 Six Nations but could move up from fifth to third in the championship with a win away to Italy, who are a point ahead of Neil Doak's side in fourth with six points.
Last year, England beat France with a bonus point in Pau to pip Ireland to the title by one point. Later in the year, they overcame France again to become under-20 world champions.
"We talk a lot about brotherhood and there is a lot of truth behind that," said England Under-20 captain Tom Burrow.
"A lot of us have played with each other for three to four years. It is not only good to be playing for your country but also with lads you've been close to over the last few years is pretty special.
"We are putting that brotherhood onto the pitch and it is resulting in wins which is what we want."
