Possible starting line-ups

Man City: Ederson; Walker, Rúben Dias, Aké; Stones, Rodri; Bernardo Silva, De Bruyne, Gündoğan, Grealish; Haaland

Inter: Onana; Darmian, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro Martínez, Džeko

Injury news

Man City's medical team is largely idle ahead of the final. Kyle Walker had a minor back concern but is now fit. The lineup is expected to remain unchanged except for the goalkeeper position. Inter's Mkhitaryan and Correa are likely to recover. Inzaghi prefers Martinez and Dzeko up front, while Dimarco will face Walker. Skriniar and de Vrij may start on the bench.
