The 26-year-old, dropped for the side's 18-16 loss to Sydney Roosters at the weekend for being late to the team bus the week prior, has been named to start on the left wing at BlueBet Stadium.
His return has pushed Enari Tuala, who replaced Marzhew against the Roosters, out of the side.
It comes as back-rower Lachlan Fitzgibbon was left out for this week's game due to a category-one concussion he suffered at the weekend.
Rookie edge-forward Dylan Lucas will take his place.
Prop Daniel Saifiti, who missed the Roosters game with a sternum injury, has been named to face the Panthers but is considered some doubt to play.
He did not complete contact training with the side on Tuesday.
NSW forward Tyson Frizell is slated to back up from Origin II on Wednesday night.
The Panthers, who are without halfback Nathan Cleary, named all of their Origin players to take part in Saturday's match.
The two sides last met in round seven, when Penrith claimed a 16-15 victory at McDonald Jones Stadium in golden-point extra time.
