If Saren never attacked Eden Prime, Sovereign could have just flown into the Citadel, and Saren could have used his SPECTER status to request docking.
-Saren requests a private meeting with the council, and is than in the tower.
-Sovereign interfaces with the Citadel, and causes it to close.
-Geth that have been packed into Sovereign activate, and assault the Citadel directly.
-With the Citadel cut off from reinforcements, and it's local security in disarray, Saren kills the council, and activates the Citadel's mass effect relay.
-Reapers pour through and the galaxy is prepared for another cycle.
So let me get this straight...
Saren turns up in a vast ship, like, larger than anything in Citadel space and of a truely alien design. The council looks at this thing and goes "Haha, it's okay, he's a SPECTER! Why would we possibly question him arriving in a titanic ship beyond the scale of even our greatest dreadnoughts? Who are we to question Saren's almighty pimp-wagon?". Then the ship not only docks, but suggestively latches onto the central spire, all the while the council, C-Sec, and everybody else on the Citadel just nods along with this.
Saren then deploys with his Geth... Fighting into the most heavily protected part of the Citadel, activating the central controls before
anyone realises something is awry. Your entire plan hinges on everyone looking at
Sovereign, an
eight kilometre long ship and not thinking that there's anything weird about it at all, even after it starts molesting the effective capital of all sentient life in the galaxy.

Well derpy hooves, isnt it ironic that your description is exactly what happens at the end of the game, minus saren still being a spectre.
