For the second time since the second-tier European Clubs’ cup competition changed to Europa League, this is the second all-English final.

From the campaign in the earlier stages and in the Premier League, the line-ups are predictable.

Tottenham: Vicario; Pedro Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma, Bentancur; Johnson, Solanke, Richarlison
Doubtful: Sarr (back)
Out: Bergvall (ankle), Kulusevski (knee), Maddison (knee) 

  • The left side of the Spurs attack is the main team selection dilemma. Son has only recently returned from a foot injury, meaning Richarlison or Mathys Tel are likely to get the nod – the Brazilian is favourite having started both legs of the semi-final. Dejan Kulusevski is the latest injury in central midfield and Pape Sarr, if his back injury is not serious, may well take the third spot in that area.

Man Utd: Onana; Yoro, De Ligt, Maguire; Mazraoui, Ugarte, Casemiro, Dorgu; Diallo, Højlund, Fernandes
Doubtful: Dalot (calf), De Ligt (knee), Yoro (ankle), Zirkzee (hamstring)
Out: Martínez (knee)

  • Defenders Leny Yoro and Diogo Dalot have shaken off injury issues, while Joshua Zirkzee is a surprise inclusion in the squad as he was thought to be out for the season. The biggest decisions for the United boss centre on forward players, though, with Mason Mount and Amad Diallo impressing in the second leg against Athletic Club.
