      Team news
      Man City will be with a fully-fit squad for the Champions League final – a manager’s dream.
      But Pep Guardiola has the tough task of choosing who to leave out of his first XI for his side’s clash with Chelsea in Porto.
      Joao Cancelo may not start for City and has found himself out of the side recently while Oleksandr Zinchenko could bag himself a starting place.
      Phil Foden, Kevin de Bruyne, Riyad Marrez are all expected to start for City.
      For Chelsea, their two big injury sweats were Edouard Mendy and N’Golo Kante, both who are not FIT and ready to face City.
      The pair trained on Thursday and and will almost certainly start vs City, with Thiago Silva likely to start in a back three with Cesar Azpilicueta and Antonio Rudiger.
      Mason Mount is certain to start, but Thomas Tuchel will have to decide on Kai Havaetz in a false 9 with Timo Werner, or Christian Pulisic.
      Mateo Kovacic, meanwhile, will be hoping to displace Jorginho in midfield.
      Odds

      Chelsea – 7/2
      Draw – 12/5
      Man City – 17/20
      Chelsea to lift cup – 15/8

      Team news
      Unfortunately for United, it’s unlikely that captain Harry Maguire will be fit to start the final at centre-back.
      The England defender is still recovering from his ankle injury and will want to make sure he is in tip-top shape for the Three Lions at this summer’s Euros.
      David de Gea should start in goal ahead of Dean Henderson, while Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof take command at the back.
      Edinson Cavani should start up top for the Red Devils.
      Villarreal are waiting to hear if Juan Foyth will be fit for the final, while goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo could start ahead of the shaky Geronimo Rulli.
      Etienne Capoue could make the Spanish side’s XI in midfield in place of Francis Coquelin, with Dani Parejo also expected to play in the middle of the park.

      Solskjaer on summer transfers: “Of course we’re planning as we normally do, that’s an ongoing process. We’re looking at the squad and I hope we’re going to strengthen with two or three players – we definitely need to challenge higher up in the table. We’re still too far behind to think it’s just going to come by itself.
      “We’ve had a few players on-loan that might come back in. There is interest in a few others going out. You want to come out of the transfer window strengthened. It’s difficult to say, I can’t see too many outgoings.” More
