Just half an hour until kick-off at Wembley…</p>
</p>
… and just half an hour more for the two clubs’ players to enjoy the national stadium’s impressive refurbished dressing rooms.</p>

TEAM SELECTIONS </strong></p>n</p>n
Raheem Sterling and Sergio Aguero have been recalled to Manchester City’s starting 11 to face Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup final. </p>n
The forwards watched from the Bernabeu bench on Wednesday as Pep Guardiola started Gabriel Jesus operating out wide with Kevin de Bruyne and Bernardo Silva as a pair of false No9.</p>n
After an hour, and at 1-0 down to Real Madrid, England forward Sterling came on to turn the tie on its head as Jesus headed an equaliser and De Bruyne converted a penalty – which was won by City’s No7. </p>n
Sterling – his club’s top scorer in the tournament – starts on the wing today with Phil Foden given his chance to shine alongside midfielders David Silva, Rodri and Ilkay Gundogan. </p>n
Foden has made just nine starts this season, with three of them coming in the league cup.</p>n
In defence John Stones partners makeshift centre-back Fernandinho, who came on in Madrid after Aymeric Laporte hobbled off injured. </p>n
