Louis Saha is ready to start his first game for Manchester United since April when Everton travel to Old Trafford on Monday.
The France international had his first taste of action this season when he came on as a second-half substitute at Blackburn on Saturday, and looks certain to be included in the starting line-up against the Merseysiders.
Sir Alex Ferguson is planning changes and although key players are still missing, for the first time this season he has a surplus to chose from.
" This will be the strongest squad I have had all season. Saha will take some part, [Darren] Fletcher and Kleberson have got games behind them this week Liam Miller is fresh and I have that freshness I can bring in," he says.
United will go into the game looking for their second Premiership win of the season and even though Everton have taken only one point from Old Trafford in the last 12 years, Ferguson expects a touch challenge.
" They will come here and as they have always done, try their best and make it difficult for us and I just hope that I´ve got the freshness out of Saturday and Wednesday´s game so I can make one or two changes," he added.
" Saha is okay now. He was just a little unsure last Wednesday and that´s why I didn´t want to use him because I knew he could get in a couple of good training sessions on Thursday and Friday and he did well. He´s ready, it´s just that we have to decide what to do with him."
