Crystal Palace team news

While the likes of Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure are ruled out through injuries, Adam Wharton will need a once-over ahead of kickoff.

Eberechi Eze will continue in an advanced role alongside Ismaila Sarr, with Jean-Philippe Mateta leading the line, while Eddie Nketiah pushes for an involvement of his own.

Manchester City team news

Rodri, Nathan Ake, Oscar Bobb and John Stones are expected to miss the final due to injuries.

City boss Pep Guardiola could deploy Matheus Nunes and Nico O'Reilly as the two full-backs, with Kevin De Bruyne in the number 10 position.

Mateo Kovacic, Ilkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva and Nico Gonzalez are the other contenders to start in the middle, while Phil Foden and James McAtee may need to battle Jeremy Doku and Omar Marmoush for their places in the XI.

Erling Haaland should start up front.
