Dungannon hooker Nigel Brady leads Ulster for the first time in the absence of Rory Best [thigh].
Coach Matt Williams has kept Isaac Boss at full-back with Clinton Schifcofske on the replacements' bench.
Ever-present Australian number eight David Lyons retains the Scarlets' captaincy as Simon Easterby continues his return from knee surgery from the bench.
Head coach Nigel Davies has opted for youth in the second row, with Lou Reed, 21, and 23-year-old Dominic Day. Flankers are new Wales call-up Rob McCusker, 23 and Johnathan Edwards, 25.
Lions tourists Matthew Rees and Stephen Jones are rested along with Wales' north America tourists Jonathan Davies, Dafydd Jones and Mark Jones while new Wales squad back row Josh Turnbull starts on the bench.
Lee Williams keeps his wing berth after a two-try man-of-the-match performance against the Blues on Wednesday at Cardiff Arms Park.
Boss Davies said: "It was a fabulous performance by Lee in Cardiff. He is a world-class sevens player, he's got that ability to beat players.
"He is very quick, he understands the game very well and he's one of those players that can play in a number of positions. He showed what a great talent he is."
Davies added: "The boys can take a lot of confidence out of Wednesday and we have to put in a big performance again against Ulster."
Tight-head prop Declan Fitzpatrick gets his first Ulster start of the season as BJ Botha is sidelined with a neck injury.

Stephen Ferris is not included as a precaution ahead of the British and Irish Lions tour to South Africa.
Williams added: "The Scarlets have to play three games in a week so we should be nice and strong going over there."
