United manager Benitez said: "Lascelles and Atsu are available."

Paul Dummett, sidelined since the first weekend of the Premier League season, will make his comeback in tonight's Under-23 game against West Bromwich Albion at Whitley Park (7pm kick-off).

"Dummett will play for the Under-23s today to improve his match fitness," added Benitez.

"We have had some problems and now we are bringing players back. That's good news.

"The competitive between players is key for us."

Lascelles and Atsu have been sidelined since the home defeat to Bournemouth early last month.
