Summer signing Ugarte is handed a first start after making his debut off the bench in the 3-0 win at Southampton on Saturday, and is joined by veteran Casemiro and youngster Toby Collyer.
Second-choice goalkeeper Altay Bayindir gets a rare outing at home to a lower-league side, to give Andre Onana the night off with Tom Heaton in reserve.
Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez all came off against Southampton, but Ten Hag confirmed that the defensive trio were “all available”. All three are on the bench this evening.
