FWIW, I dont think Big Ron returning would make a fat lot of difference in this one. As is often the case, I fear we'll be on the arse end of a backlash, especially from Rooney, who will almost certainly score. Twice.
As others have said, they do look soft in midfield and our best hope might be to focus on that battle and see what pans out. Seeing as Herd and Sylla are our only fit midfielders prepared to put the boot in, I'd play em both, with KEA. Then stick Bacuna on the right and Gabby on the left. Benteke up front.
Back four prob Lowton, Clark, Baker, and whoevers fit enough.
Albrighton and Weimann could have impact off the bench as the game goes on perhaps? Both lively, and their defence looked short of pace V Everton.
