The Blues striker, who has been suffering with an ankle injury for the last month or so, an injury which forced him to be substituted just nine minutes into the last league fixture against Newcastle United, is fit enough to spearhead the Blues attack against Alex Fergusons side.
Midfielders Muzzy Izzet, Stephen Clemence and Stan Lazaridis have however failed to shake off knee, calf and thigh injuries respectively in time for the live TV game at St Andrews.
With the midfield trio definately out of the game Darren Anderton has been named in manager Steve Bruce's squad for the game against one of the League title favourites.
Anderton has yet to make a Premiership appearance since his move to St Andrew's in August but the former England international could be set for his Blues league bow against the Red Devils.
