Jonjo Shelvey
Shelvey struggled to impose himself at Goodison Park, suffering a slight drop from the high standard he has performed at during an outstanding run of form in the past few months and Benitez will hope it was only a minor blip.
For Shelvey this is another opportunity to prove he possesses the game-influencing credentials to be selected in the England World Cup squad, and this will be a match the 26-year-old, who can claim to be the best midfielder on the pitch against West Brom, will be expected to control should he feature from the start.
Mikel Merino replaced United’s chief creator for the final seven minutes on Monday night and Shelvey knows his mediocre display will have reopened the door for the Spain under-21 international to steal his starting berth.
