Edin Dzeko and Marcelo Brozovic get the nod with Lautaro Martinez in the Champions League Final against Manchester City’s Erling Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne, but not Kyle Walker.

It kicks off at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens on the LIVEBLOG.

The Nerazzurri are seeking their fourth edition of the trophy and are in the Final for the first time since 2010, when Jose Mourinho completed the Treble.

There were a few choices still to be made by Simone Inzaghi, but no surprises, as he starts Dzeko with Lautaro Martinez to bring Romelu Lukaku off the bench in the second half against tiring legs.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan has recovered, but it is Marcelo Brozovic who takes the midfield role with Hakan Calhanoglu and Nicolò Barella.

Pep Guardiola sticks to the plan for Manchester City too, with Haaland supported by Bernardo Silva, Kevin de Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and Jack Grealish.

However, the surprise is that Kyle Walker has not recovered sufficiently from a back injury and is only on the bench.

Manchester City: Ederson; Akanji, Stones, Ruben Dias, Ake; Rodrigo, Gundogan; De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Grealish; Haaland

Manchester City bench: Ortega, Carson, Walker, Philips, Laporte, Alvarez, Sergio Gomez, Mahrez, Perrone, Foden, Palmer, Lewis

Inter: Onana; Darmian, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Brozovic, Calhanoglu, Dimarco; Dzeko, Lautaro Martinez

Inter bench: Handanovic, Cordaz, Gagliardini, De Vrij, Gosens, Correa, Bellanova, Asllani, Mkhitaryan, D’Ambrosio, Skriniar, Lukaku
