Keeping the 15 jersey is fullback Greig Tonks with Damien Hoyland returning from injury on the right wing and Tom Brown maintaining his spot on the left. The centre pairing see Michael Allen remain at outside centre with Sam Beard returning to the starting line-up at inside centre in place of the injured Andries Strauss and Chris Dean.
Recently-announced re-signing, stand-off Phil Burleigh, and scrum half Nathan Fowles continue their half-back partnership.
Meanwhile in the pack, Rory Sutherland, Neil Cochrane and John Andress again make up the front row with a new-look second row of Anton Bresler and Ben Toolis. Captain Mike Coman resumes his usual position on the blindside, after a foray at lock last time out, while Hamish Watson and Cornell Du Preez remain at openside and no 8 respectively.
Head coach Alan Solomons said: "The Scarlets at home is always incredibly tough and we will need to improve considerably from our Cardiff performance to get a result."
After a number of close encounters at Parc Y Scarlets over recent years, Edinburgh nailed a fine victory (26-15) over the Welsh club during their last visit in March 2015, the capital outfit's only away win in five outings to Wales.
The match will be shown live on BBC Wales.
Players not considered due to injury: Jack Cuthbert (arm), Chris Dean (ankle), Grant Gilchrist (groin), Nasi Manu (neck), Fraser McKenzie (neck), Andries Strauss (knee and ankle) Jade Te Rure (knee).
