I'd put Peltier on the bench just so we have cover for CM.

Finnan really doesn't seem to like to get forward too often - which is a pity because on occasions he can deliver a good cross, but I'd keep him at full back rather than move him to RM and maybe give Anderson a run out.

Has Peltier player right mid? It seems pretty obvious that Rafa feels he is the young player closest to being ready to step up. He seemed good going forward from right back so midfield seems a logical place to try him.
