What is the team news?
The drama and craziness of last year’s final will never be lived up to, but UK viewers will be able to see some of the hottest South American talent on show at Estadio Monumental.
River Plate are the defending champions with an ex-Manchester City academy star in Bruno Zuculini in their ranks.
Sunderland also have representation in Ignacio Scocco, who managed no goals in six league appearances for the Black Cats.
And then there is Juan Fernando Quintero who has been a target for the likes of Real Madrid and Man City in the past.
While star midfielder Exequiel Palacios was a target for Arsenla earlier this year, with the Argentine confirming the rumours himself.
As for Flamengo, they have a more recent Gunners target in 17-year-old Reinier, with Los Blancos and Juventus also interested.
Another ex-Man City starlet could be starring in the final in Pablo Mari, while former hot properties in Europe could grace the Lima pitch in ex-Bayern Munich full-back Rafinha, Gabriel Barbosa – currently on loan from Inter Milan – and Valencia’s old goalkeeper Diego Alves.
