Ulster fly-half David Humphreys has been passed fit to start in Saturday's Magners League opener against the Scarlets at Ravenhill, kick-off at 7.30pm.
Humphreys sustained a shoulder-knock during the province's friendly win over Earth Titans last Friday.
The only change in personnel from that game sees Roger Wilson returning after suspension in place of Kieron Dawson.
The Scarlets, meanwhile, are confident that Simon Easterby and Stephen Jones will be available.
ULSTER (v Llanelli Scarlets): B Cunningham; M Bartholomeusz; P Steinmetz; P Wallace; A Maxwell; D Humphreys; K Campbell; J Fitzpatrick; P Shields; T Court; J Harrison (Capt); T Barker; S Ferris; N McMillan; R Wilson.
